John 19:24b “…This happened that the scriptures might be fulfilled…” The history of the world is summarized within the Bible. From Creation to Eternity God tells us His and our story. Nothing predicted by God has not happened exactly as He said it would. The world, just like your and my lives, has a purpose for its existence. It is important for you and me to listen to our God and pray that we live our lives and follow His intended purpose. Because of His love for each of us, nothing but good will be the result.

John 19:16a “Here they crucified him…” Jesus had to be born. Jesus had to die. Jesus had to rise. Our Savior and Advocate suffered a painful and humiliating death only so you and I could live. There is no greater love. He has made it possible for us to be in the presence of our Heavenly Father as perfect adopted children because our Father demands perfection. We thank Him by living a life of service to Him.

John 19:15b “‘We have no king but Caesar,’ the chief priests answered.”‘ The world certainly thinks differently than any Christian. As Children of God, we acknowledge Jesus as our Savior and King. The world acknowledges Jesus as a man who lived, influenced a few and died. What a privilege it is for you and me to know the real Jesus, His purpose for His living, dying and rising and to have a tight relationship with Him which will last through all eternity. There is a sadness we all have for those who live on this earth and never realize the truths of our loving Heavenly Father. Thank God for His loving hugs for you.

John 18:37b “Everyone on the side of truth listens to me.” Jesus’ words are 100% truth. God speaks. How can we do anything other than listen. The world is so confused with its own thinking it has come to believe there is no truth. How can one be so foolish as to ignore a so easily recognized abundance of truth which, when followed guarantee a contented, joyful and peaceful life? We love to hear and tell the greatest story man has ever and will ever hear. Study His truth.

John 18:20 “‘I have spoken openly to the world, ‘Jesus replied, ‘I always taught in synagogues or at the temple, where all the Jews come together. I said nothing in secret.”‘ The truths of Christianity are available for everyone to hear or read. Jesus has hidden nothing. No one wherever the Bible is available has any excuse to ignore Truth. Unfortunately, man’s pride instead of a wiser choice of humility has become his downfall. Man has mistakenly turned to himself for solutions and in so doing has created more problems. Beyond any doubt Jesus is the solution for all of man’s problems–accept that truth and live with the complete confidence given by our living Savior.

John 19:17 “‘You are not one of his disciples, are you?’ the girl at the door asked Peter. He replied, ‘I am not.'” Each of us has to thank God that He has not recorded our betrayals in Scripture. How often have you and I denied our Savior by our thoughts, words or/and actions? Have we ever stood in silence when His truths were denied? Have we ever participated in activities not becoming of a child of God? Have we ever agreed with a group instead of expressing His truths? Has God placed this story in the Bible as a mirror for each of us? I think that is exactly why this story is in Scripture. Lesson learned? Have a great weekend.
