John 19:1-16a
This past week was the 70th anniversary of the accession of Queen Elizabeth. The presentation of a king or queen is marked with great pomp and ceremony, not just in the current era but also in antiquity. The first crown and royal robe Jesus wears, however, is a mockery of his royalty. Who is King Jesus? What do we see in the mockery of his coronation ceremony? What does it tell us about our own suffering? Join us this week as we turn to John 19 and the beginning of the end of Jesus’ earthly ministry.
From Series: "Gospel of John: Jesus, Our Great High Priest"
This Sunday we return to the Gospel of John to see our great High Priest at work. First, in his prayer. And then in his atoning work on the cross. Over the spring we’ll walk with Jesus through the final hours of his earthly life and then experience the joy (and confusion) of his disciples when they discover that he has risen from the dead. Along the way we’ll gain a greater understanding of the heart of Jesus for you and me, as well as the goal of his redeeming work that stretches as far as the curse is found.
