The Death of The King

Today’s message, based on John 19:31-42, is titled “The Death of The King”. We see in these verses the certification of Jesus’ death and the burial of our Lord. We will see in His death, He is reigning. His reign is enacted, extended, and actively going on in the moment that He dies.

There’s a reason that we sing of a fountain filled with blood, that we glory in the cross, that we preach Christ and Him crucified, because everything we are about as a people is rooted in the historic reality of the death of the Son of God; the victory is at Calvary. It is finished and accomplish at Calvary; the Resurrection is announcement, the public unmistakable declaration of the victory that happened on Friday at the cross.

We will look at this passage in light of two points: the proof of His death, and the power of His death.
