BSF Study Questions John’s Gospel: The Truth Lesson 25, Day 5: John 19:28-30

11) His work of dying on the cross to save all of humanity from our sins.

12a) Jesus said, “It is finished.” With that, he bowed his head and gave up his spirit.

b) He went to the cross willingly to die for us, and he gave up his life; no one took it from him.

13a) It means all of our sins are forgiven, and we will have eternal life next to God, the Father in heaven. We will be righteous and justified. We will be free from sin and eternal death

b) It means everything. Everything I do is for Him, and when my time comes, I’ll worship the Lord forever.

Conclusions BSF Study Questions John’s Gospel: The Truth Lesson 25, Day 5: John 19:28-30

I love how every step Jesus took on this earth was for us. Amazing!

End Notes BSF Study Questions John’s Gospel: The Truth Lesson 25, Day 5: John 19:28-30

Jesus’ throat was dry, and he wanted to speak once more before he gave up his life. He had turned down drink before on the cross (Mark 15:23).

When you thirst, you thirst for Jesus.

“It is finished” is one word in Greek “tetelestai”. The power of one word.

Here, God laid down all of man’s sin on His Son. Christ bore it perfectly.

This was victory.

Jesus bows his head in peace as we see elsewhere in the Bible (Matthew 8:20; Luke 9:28)

Jesus gave up his life; no one took it from him.

This was the defining moment in all of history.

BSF Study Questions John’s Gospel: The Truth Lesson 25, Day 4: John 19:25-27

by atozmom, posted in BSF John's Gospel: The Truth 2023/2024

Summary of John 19:25-27

Jesus spoke to John to tell him to care for his mother, who was at the foot of the cross, along with his mother’s sister, Mary the wife of Clopas, and Mary Magdalene.

BSF Study Questions John’s Gospel: The Truth Lesson 25, Day 4: John 19:25-27

9a) Jesus stood his mother, his mother’s sister, Mary the wife of Clopas, and Mary Magdalene and the disciple whom he loved (John).

b) Jesus never thought about himself. Here, he ensures his mother’s care by entrusting her to John.

c) Knowing how God is, His character, and His great love for me helps me endure hardship.

10) Always put others first because they may be suffering, too.

Conclusions BSF Study Questions John’s Gospel: The Truth Lesson 25, Day 4: John 19:25-27

Love how women are tending to Our Lord and Savior and how Jesus cares for everyone here. I love how we can care for others who are not our blood and how Jesus calls us to do so.

End Notes BSF Study Questions John’s Gospel: The Truth Lesson 25, Day 4: John 19:25-27

Can you imagine how Mary felt, seeing the baby she born being tortured and crucified?

Mary has support from others who loved Jesus: Mary the wife of Clopas and Mary Magdalene. We see these two faithful women again at the tomb of Jesus’s resurrection.

John referred to himself in this way 4 times in his gospel (John 13:23, 19:26, 21:7, 21:20).

We also know it was John because he tells us he was at the crucifixion (John 19:35).

Bible scholars say Jesus did not call Mary “mother” here so as not to cause her even more pain and suffering.

We are unsure why Jesus chose John to care for his mother when Mary had other children. We do know that John will outlive everyone. John was the only disciple that we know of that was at the crucifixion. This could be honoring him.

“Here is your mother” signifies the new relationship John and Mary would have.

BSF Study Questions John’s Gospel: The Truth Lesson 25, Day 3: John 19:19-24

by atozmom, posted in BSF John's Gospel: The Truth 2023/2024

Summary of John 19:19-24

Pilate made a sign that read “Jesus of Nazareth, The King of the Jews” and hung it on Jesus’s cross. The soldiers stole Jesus’s clothes.

BSF Study Questions John’s Gospel: The Truth Lesson 25, Day 3: John 19:19-24

6) The sign read “Jesus of Nazareth, The King of the Jews.” The priests did not want “The King of the Jews” on the cross because they thought it to be untrue.

7a) He was left virtually naked.

b) Jesus was rejected by mankind and took on sin as his own.

c) The prophecy is found in  Psalm 22:18. It helps verify that Christ is the Messiah.

8 ) He took my sins on himself as his own, allowing me to be cleansed and be with God forever. We were forgiven forever.

Conclusions BSF Study Questions John’s Gospel: The Truth Lesson 25, Day 3: John 19:19-24

This passage emphasizes how Jesus endured intense suffering for all of us to live forever.

End Notes BSF Study Questions John’s Gospel: The Truth Lesson 25, Day 3: John 19:19-24

All of those who were crucified had their crimes written out so all could see their crimes.

Most people were crucified naked. Jesus, however, was not due to Jewish sensitivities.

Jesus’s tunic was of high-quality, being made of one piece of cloth. Again, we see scripture here as High Priests wore such garments. Exodus 28:31-32

BSF Study Questions John’s Gospel: The Truth Lesson 25, Day 2: John 19:17-18

by atozmom, posted in BSF John's Gospel: The Truth 2023/2024

Summary of John 19:17-18

“Carrying his own cross, he [Jesus] went out to the place of the Skull (which in Aramaic is called Golgotha). There they crucified him, and with him two others—one on each side and Jesus in the middle.”

BSF Study Questions John’s Gospel: The Truth Lesson 25, Day 2: John 19:17-18

3a) I see the cross as representing all of humanity’s sins, so Jesus physically and figuratively carried our sins on his back.

b) Jesus took on all of our sins; it does not matter who you are.

4a) Truthfully, it’s hard to fathom for the average person in the 21st century. We are not surrounded by this kind of violence. We don’t see people die around us in hideous ways, such as in the Colosseum in Rome or being hung or strung up.  So, it’s hard for us to imagine the kind of torture Jesus endured for our sins. Therefore, it’s hard for me to grasp the gravity of it all.

b) Our sins are indeed severe and deep. Jesus was tortured and killed for our sins. When you think about giving up your life for someone else, there’s not many who qualify. Jesus did it for all of us! Amazing!

5) Awe, gratitude, disbelief, praise.

Conclusions BSF Study Questions John’s Gospel: The Truth Lesson 25, Day 2: John 19:17-18

The simplicity of John’s description of this horrific act is startling. It really makes the gravity of the situation come to life.

End Notes BSF Study Questions John’s Gospel: The Truth Lesson 25, Day 2: John 19:17-18

The Romans used crucifixion for the worst of the worst criminals. It was designed to extend the suffering to the utmost. While the Persians invented crucifixion, the Romans used it most often. Roman citizens were not crucified.

Bible scholars have many metaphors for Jesus being in the middle:

  • Jesus was between humanity and God
  • Jesus is at the center of the universe
  • Jesus was between criminals
  • Jesus stood between God and the devil
