Jesus’s Death Is the Good News of God’s Rescue
Q. Did Jesus say God’s promise was fulfilled when he was crucified?
A. [Jesus] said, “It is finished.” (John 19:30)
Let’s do a quick review of the Gospel of John. First, we heard things said about Jesus. Do you remember the words of the angels and John the Baptist? Then we listened to the many things Jesus said and did. Remember his words about the temple, the kingdom, the resurrection, and the Way? We even learned that Jesus raised someone from the dead. Next we saw what others did to Jesus. They crucified him on the cross. And this week we are learning about what Jesus said about what they did: “It is finished!” The Gospel of John gives us the words and actions of others and the words and actions of Jesus to help us see that Jesus’s death is God’s plan to rescue us from sin.
Reflection and Interaction:
Do you believe that Jesus died on the cross to rescue you from your sin?
If actions speak louder than words, what does Jesus’s death on the cross mean to you?
