3. John 19
On the Cross He Said…..

4. Jesus Said:
Then Jesus said, "Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they do.“ Luke 23:34

5. Jesus Said:
When Jesus therefore saw His mother, and the disciple whom He loved standing by, He said to His mother, "Woman, behold your son!" Then He said to the disciple, "Behold your mother!" And from that hour that disciple took her to his own home John 19:26

6. Jesus Said:
And Jesus said to him, "Assuredly, I say to you, today you will be with Me in Paradise.“ Luke 23:43

7. Jesus Said:
After this, Jesus, knowing that all things were now accomplished, that the Scripture might be fulfilled, said, "I thirst!" Now a vessel full of sour wine was sitting there; and they filled a sponge with sour wine, put it on hyssop, and put it to His mouth John 19:28-29 / Psalm 69
Ps 69:21 They also gave me gall for my food And for my thirst they gave me vinegar to drink.

8. Jesus Said:
And about the ninth hour Jesus cried out with a loud voice, saying, "Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani?" that is, "My God, My God, why have You forsaken Me?“ Matthew 27:46 / Psalm 22

9. Jesus Said:
So when Jesus had received the sour wine, He said, "It is finished!" And bowing His head, He gave up His spirit John 19:30
– Tetelestai
a. Matt. 11:1 translated, "made an end". Luke 2:39, “Performed". Luke 18:31 "Accomplished". Acts 13:29, "Fulfilled”
b. Papyri receipts for taxes have been recovered with the word TETELESTAI written across them, meaning "paid in full".

10. Jesus Said:
And when Jesus had cried out with a loud voice, He said, "Father, 'into Your hands I commit My spirit.‘” Having said this, He breathed His last Luke 23:46 / Psalm 31
Ps 31:5 Into Your hand I commit my spirit; You have ransomed me, O LORD, God of truth.

11. An Important Moment
I urge you in the sight of God who gives life to all things, and before Christ Jesus who witnessed the good confession before Pontius Pilate, Timothy 6:13

12. The Good Confession
Pilate therefore said to Him, "Are You a king then?" Jesus answered, "You say rightly that I am a king. For this cause I was born, and for this cause I have come into the world, that I should bear witness to the truth.” John 18:37a

13. Jesus’ Confession
Jesus had not confessed being the Christ Then the Jews surrounded Him and said to Him, "How long do You keep us in doubt? If You are the Christ, tell us plainly.” John 10:24
Clarification – Jesus did not DIRECTLY tell the Jews He was messiah; he made it clear that to testify of Himself could invalidate the legitimacy of the Messiah (John 8:14-18). This is in part due to the idea of the prophetic Christ (Isa 53:7). Jesus did testify of Himself, but through the Scriptures (Luke 4:14-21)

14. Jesus’ Confession
Jesus “confessed” His identity by works Jesus answered them, "I told you, and you do not believe. The works that I do in My Father's name, they bear witness of Me.” John 10:25

15. Jesus’ Confession Jesus expected others to confess Him
Some of the people of the NT who made the confession that Jesus was the Messiah. They did this because Jesus fulfilled prophecy, He worked wonders, He was marked by God

16. Our Confession
Seeing then that we have a great High Priest who has passed through the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast our confession Hebrews 4:14

17. Our Confession
Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering, for He who promised is faithful Hebrews 10:23

18. Our Confession
Through the proof of this ministry, they glorify God for the obedience of your confession to the gospel of Christ, and for your liberal sharing with them and all men, 2 Corinthians 9:13

19. Our Confession
Why is our confession so important? Words are important Confession relates understanding Flesh and blood does not tell us of Christ The Father Himself! Matthew 16

20. Our Confession
Confession means taking a position Confession means a lifestyle We are to “hold fast” to our confession

21. Our Confession
Confession means taking a position Confession means a lifestyle Confession means obedience Are we prepared to obey our confession?

23. Where is the Symbol of the Cross?
Or do you not know that all of us who have been baptized into Christ Jesus have been baptized into His death? Therefore we have been buried with Him through baptism into death, so that as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, so we too might walk in newness of life Romans 6:3

24. If you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. For with the heart one believes unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. For the Scripture says, "Whoever believes on Him will not be put to shame.“ Romans 10:9-11
