This was the hour for which Jesus came, this is what the prophet Isaiah spoke about seven hundred years before the birth of Jesus Christ. This has often been called the "The Passion", whereby the Holy Son of God takes upon Himself our sins and then, those who place their faith and trust (vs.36) in Him are cleansed of their sins! This is the greatest act of love that the world has or will ever see.....God demonstrating His love toward us in that while we were still His enemies because of our sin, Jesus dies for us even as it was and is spoken in the Word of God, the Bible!
Questions to Ponder:
1. Jesus during His ministry demonstrated power over nature,
sickness and even death. Why does Jesus say what He says to
Pilate in vs.11?
2. Way back in Genesis 3:15,God tells Satan that a Messiah would
come and crush his head, but that Satan would crush His heal.
How was the Savior's heal struck in this passage?
3. In two places in this passage John says that these things
happened so that the scripture might be fulfilled. How can these
two statements being comfort and bring increase to your faith?
Pray: Give thanks to God that though Satan comes to kill, steal and destroy, his power is not greater than God's, and his striking Jesus' heal pales in comparison to the power Jesus demonstrates in crushing Satan's head with His own resurrection! Praise God that the scripture doesn't record a dead Christ, but a living victorious Christ as we will see tomorrow!
