It Is Finished

Before and during your reading
Follow the account from Pilate's judgment through the crucifixion and burial. John repeatedly shows how details fulfill Scripture. Pay attention to Jesus' care for his mother, his words before dying, the witness concerning his pierced side, and Joseph of Arimathaea and Nicodemus taking care of the body. The chapter reports specific events; let those details form the foundation for understanding the significance of Christ's sacrifice.
