Session 47
It is finished
From The Life of Jesus: 50 Days in the Book of John
Read John 19:28-42
Now, spend some time reflecting on what you read and what stood out to you.
Jesus was killed. He took our place and was buried. It’s truly a heavy, gory thing to know that Jesus died a terrible death so that we might know Him. Do you feel like you take that for granted sometimes? What can you do more often to remind yourself of the beauty of the Gospel and that God would take your place?
In verses 31-37, Jesus has His side pierced. Verses 36-37 talk about the prophecies that were spoken. Read Zechariah 12:10. Do you see this verse’s prophecy fulfilled? What does that show you about God’s character?
When Jesus says “It is finished” in verse 30, what is finished that He’s referring to?
Finally, spend some time responding to Jesus in prayer. What do you want to thank Him for? What do you want to ask Him for? What do you need to confess to Him?
