JESUS’ DEATH AND RESURRECTION
Firstly again:
John 17:1-5
1 After Jesus said this, he looked toward heaven and prayed: “Father, the time has come. Glorify your Son, that your Son may glorify you.
2 For you granted him authority over all people that he might give eternal life to all those you have given him.
3 Now this is eternal life: that they may know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom you have sent.
4 I have brought you glory on earth by completing the work you gave me to do.
5 And now, Father, glorify me in your presence with the glory I had with you before the world began.”
Jesus was arrested as the Scripture records (Isaiah ch 52, 53, John 18.4-9, 28-40). Pilate sentenced Jesus to death on the cross. All of Jesus’ predictions occurred. Be encouraged separately to read the Gospel of John chapters 18-21 at once in their entirety for context.
The main truths:
John 19:23, 20:31
23 When the soldiers crucified Jesus, they took his clothes, dividing them into four shares, one for each of them, with the undergarment remaining. This garment was seamless, woven in one piece from top to bottom.
31 But these are written that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that by believing you may have life in his name.
