Righteous Sufferer

“It is finished.”

Read: John 19:17-30
Text: Verses 28-30

All of these passages which show the different ways that Jesus fulfilled the Old Testament Scriptures do not only give us insight into the meaning of Jesus and his death, they also give us insight into the meaning of history itself. These connections to the Old Testament all are making the point that history is the unfolding of God’s plan that is centered on Jesus Christ and his death on the cross.
— Rev. Jerry Hamstra
