Episode Notes: "The King on a Cross" (John 19:17-42)

Introduction:

The reaction to hearing of Jesus' death would have been one of disbelief and raised questions, similar to our reactions to sudden death today. The New Testament writers emphasized Jesus' death extensively, covering the last week and especially the crucifixion in great detail across the four Gospels, indicating its significance from both human and divine perspectives. This episode will explore John 19:17-42, examining the details of Jesus' death and the meaning behind these events.

Key Aspects of Jesus' Death:

1. The Title on the Cross (John 19:17-22):
   • Jesus carried His cross to Golgotha, "the Place of the Skull," and was crucified with two others.

   • This gesture demonstrated the new family of believers, bonded through Christ's sacrifice.
4. Jesus' Thirst and Declaration (John 19:28-30):
   • Jesus, aware that all things were accomplished, said, "I thirst," fulfilling Psalm 69:21.
