In this powerful discussion from John 19, Pastors Clint and Michael explore John's unique portrayal of the crucifixion. Unlike other Gospels, John emphasizes Jesus’ control and purpose, highlighting the quiet sovereignty of Christ as he carries his own cross. The episode explores Pilate’s ironic inscription—“Jesus of Nazareth, King of the Jews”—as a moment of accidental truth, written in the languages of the known world. The pastors reflect on the theological weight of this detail, as well as John's rare use of prophetic fulfillment in the soldiers’ division of Jesus’ clothes. This study offers a compelling look at how John uses irony, minimalism, and layered meaning to preach a message of Jesus’ kingship even in death.
