John 19:17-30 // Tom Nelson
He who is stripped naked and nailed to the cross who appears completely powerless, is actually the one who is all powerful. Jesus is the one who is really in control. No one takes Jesus’ life, Jesus gives it up. John includes Jesus' final words on the cross, “It is finished,” not only to indicate that Jesus really died, but that his death accomplished something very important, his death had great meaning. Here we discover John’s most compelling irony. An irony John does not want us as readers to miss. Jesus’ tragic death is actually a great triumph! What sure seems like a great and unspeakable tragedy is actually an unimaginably great triumph of the Triune God.
