Steve McAlpine’s “Futureproof” - The Gospel Coalition | Australia
Short, sharp, accessible, on point, and, for me, hard to fault in terms of its content. Futureproof offers a great analysis of our age and a good framework for living in it to the greater glory of Jes...- likes 0

Easter: John's Gospel
John wants us to confront our own views of the last moments of Jesus. He has constructed these last moments in four scenes.
In scene 1 (19:16b-22), Pilate reveals that he has finished the king, and the Jewish leaders gloat that they have finished the pretender.
In scene 2 (19:23-24), the soldiers have finished their job - 'another day at the office'.
In scene 3 (19:25-27), the family and friends of Jesus feel as if their close community is finished.
And, in scene 4 (19:28-30), Jesus shows that he is not finished, but his job is finished: he has completed the work God set him, and the obstacle of sin that stops people knowing God and having true life has been removed (cf. John 17:1-4).
How do you view Jesus' last moments?
Prayer:
Father, this Easter, give me eyes to see your Son, ears to hear his words, and a heart turned back to him, by him. Amen.
