Jesus’ empty tomb has implications for every person. And there are many ways that people try to make sense of it. But John 20:1-10 reveals that there are really two things that are needed to believe that Jesus was resurrected because of the empty tomb. Join our study of this passage to find out what those two things are that are needed, and learn the difference this can make in your life.

When Jesus died on the cross, it would seem as though everything was going wrong. But everything was going exactly the way that he wanted it to. Nobody took his life from him; he gave it up freely of his own accord. And when he did that, he accomplished exactly what he wanted to through it. Join our study in John 19:28-42 to learn about what he accomplishes, as Jesus gives up his life to death.

There are moments in life that when we see it happen, we know it’s terrible, and we’re never going to forget it. When Jesus is crucified, we can be sure that those who loved him and saw it were never going to forget it, either. Amazingly, what happens through Jesus’ crucifixion in the physical realm actually reflects what he accomplishes in the spiritual realm through it. Seeing those connections and the benefit his crucifixion brings, from John 19:16b-27, will hopefully help us lay hold of those benefits and appreciate his crucifixion in new ways.

When we face the trials and hardships that shake us, how we handle them shows us who we really are. And when Jesus is given over to be crucified by Pontius Pilate, the way that he handles that hardship shows us who he really is. And knowing who Jesus really is can guide us into responding appropriately to him. Join our study in John 19:1-16a to learn what happens when Jesus is given over to be crucified.

None of us would want to face a trial behind closed doors without a jury. But that’s the kind of trial that Jesus faces with Pontius Pilate at his political trial and it’s full of injustice. This trial reveals things about God and things about man that we don’t want to miss. Join our study in John 18:28-40, where we see Jesus on trial politically.
