John 19

Random notes:

1) [an aside] When Jesus said, "My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?" it is the only time Jesus did not refer to God as the "Father".

2)Jesus's garment that was cast for by lot was - SEAMLESS. Compare that with:

Is 64:6a
"But we are all as an unclean thing, and all our righteousnesses are as filthy rags;.."NIV

Zech 3:3
"Now Joshua was clothed with filthy garments, and stood before the angel."NIV

3) It is finished - Gk. "tetelestai". In Greek it is what was stamped on business document when "paynment in full" is received. Also stamped on person's document when leaving prison. I have looked this up enough to know it is true - so I am pasting something from an apologetic site.

"Nailed to the top of the cross was an official notice, a certificate of debt to Caesar, a public display of Jesus' crime: “The King of the Jews.” The certificate of debt was a list of crimes committed against the state that required payment. When punishment was complete, Caesar's court would cancel the debt with a single Greek word stamped upon the parchment's face: “tetelestai.”

Being king of the Jews was not the crime Jesus paid for, however. Hidden to all but the Father was another certificate nailed to that cross. In the darkness that shrouded Calvary from the sixth to the ninth hour, a divine transaction took place; Jesus made a trade with the Father. The full weight of all the crimes of all of humanity-every murder, every theft, every lustful glance; every hidden act of vice, every modest moment of pride, and every monstrous deed of evil; every crime of every man who ever lived-these Jesus took upon Himself as if guilty of all.

At the last, it was not the cross that took Jesus' life. He did not die of exposure, or loss of blood, or asphyxiation. When the full debt for our sin was paid, and the justice of God was fully satisfied, Jesus simply gave up His spirit with a single Greek word that fell from His lips: “Tetelestai.” “It is finished.” The divine transaction is complete. The debt was cancelled. (Colossians 2:13-14)"

All one needs now is to believe IN Him.

4) John 19:37
"And again another scripture saith, They shall look on him whom they pierced."

future tense? what verse?

Zech 12:10
"And I will pour out on the house of David and the inhabitants of Jerusalem a spirit of grace and supplication. They will look on me, the one they have pierced, and they will mourn for him as one mourns for an only child, and grieve bitterly for him as one grieves for a firstborn son." NIV

This will be in the future - "on that day" refers to Christ's second coming. One reason why I believe in prophecy - the nation of Israel (what's left of it) in the end will come to Christ.

BTW in the Hebrew text there is a two letter word following Zech 12:10's "look on me" - the word is two letters - "aleph" and "tau". The first and last letters of Hebrew Alphabet.

MY TRANSLATION
'They will look on me, THE FIRST AND THE LAST, the one they have pierced,'

"By the way, there are two un-translated letters in the Hebrew text following the phrase "look upon me" in Zechariah 12:10.....The same two un-translated letters appear in the Hebrew text of Genesis 1:1 following the phrase "In the beginning God …"."

Lastly,

John 19:35
"The man who saw it has given testimony, and his testimony is true. He knows that he tells the truth, and he testifies so that you also may believe."

That's beautiful John!

May 31,22 2nd Sam 17:1-29
The 2 commanders under Absolom, what fools- Ahithophel- vs. Hushai. However, Hushai still fears the Lord and is still secretly faithful to Kimg David. I still feel for David running- having to hide like a prisoner,, or escapee, all because his son is so evil and wishes to kill him for the throne. How sad.

John 19:23-42
Talking about the crown. The consequences of Adam's sins. Jesus fell and couldn't carry the cross. It is finished! Sign of a conqueror, not a martyr but a Victor.
Jesus did this for us, this is what we couldn't accomplish in a lifetime- He defeated death, he'll, and the grave- Hallelujah. He was was brought down from the cross by some new believers, embalmed with 75 pounds of spices and put in a brand spanking new tomb "fit" for a King.
I also think about how Jesus spoke to John and his mother Mary and said woman this is your son and son this is your mother. Makes me think of how it went down on my mom's deathbed when I was distraught without a mother present going forward. She was like you have your Aunt Sue and Ms Linda. Basically saying these are your mother figures now. Wow. Revelation.

Psalm 119: 129-152
Righteousness in a sinful world crying to God in prayer (in the will of God) more effective prayers.
Love, love, love this Psalm. Your statutes are wonderful Lord, that is why I obey them.
Unfolding of your Word gives light -Even the simple understand.
I long and crave your commands. Have mercy to the ones who (love) crave your name.
Order your footsteps according to your Word - no iniquity has any dominion over me! Praise God

Could go on so much more- so, so good! (Psalm 129-133)

Proverbs 16:12-13
Kings take pleasure in honest lips-(think David would have been proud of Hushai)? Hmm. I think so
