John 19:29-30; Luke 23:46; Matthew 27:51
In Jesus’ final moments on the cross, He declares His redeeming work complete. As He breathes out His last breath, the veil in the Temple, a symbol of the barrier between God and mankind, is torn in two.
Mark 15:33-36; John 19:25-28
As Jesus hangs upon the cross, what are some takeaways that we can learn from His words and actions, even as the end of His earthly life draws near?
Luke 23:32-43
As Jesus is crucified, we see several examples of the historical reliability of the Gospels, events unfold as they were foretold in the Old Testament, and we get a beautiful example of grace and forgiveness.
Luke 23:26-31
Jesus has been condemned to crucifixion by Pilate. The Bible tells us that there are several people accompanying Jesus along the way. Who are these people, and what can we learn from them?
John 18:38-19:16
Jesus faces His final trial before Pilate. As Pilate tries to keep an innocent man from being crucified, the crowd turns against him and we see events play out that reflect the overall story of the Gospel.
John 18:28-38 & Luke 23:2-12
Jesus is turned over to the Romans and faces two different trials by Pontius Pilate and Herod. In this message we take a look at these events and what these men’s reactions to Jesus can teach us about how we should respond to Jesus as Lord.
