Scripture: John 19:16-30
Jesus Endured the Cross
Jesus carried the cross to Golgotha
Jesus was nailed to the cross
Jesus was crucified between two sinners.
Why? Because He loves us!
“For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life.”
– John 3:16 (ESV)
Our Debt was Paid
Jesus endured the agony of the cross from 9am – 3 pm
His declaration of tetelestai—“It is finished”—was a epic statement that our debt had been covered. It also means paid in full. Jesus’ death fully satisfied or paid in full the debt of sin owed by each one of us.
