The Gospel of
John:
“Believe”
John 19:34-35
[34] But one of the soldiers
pierced His side with a
spear, and immediately
blood and water came out.
John 19:34-35[35] And he who has seen
has testified, and his
testimony is true; and
he knows that he is
telling the truth, so that
you also may believe.
A Clash of Powers
A Clash of Powers
1) Power of the Jewish leaders.
A Clash of Powers
2) Power of the Romans.
A Clash of Powers
3) Power of Satan.
A Clash of Powers
4) Power of Jesus.
John 18:33-37[33] Therefore Pilate
entered again into the
Praetorium, and
summoned Jesus and
said to Him, “Are You
the King of the Jews?”
John 18:33-37
[34] Jesus answered, “Are
you saying this on your
own initiative, or did
others tell you about Me?”
John 18:33-37
[35] Pilate answered, “I am
not a Jew, am I? Your own
nation and the chief
priests delivered You to
me; what have You done?”
John 18:33-37
[36] Jesus answered, “My kingdom is not of this world. If My kingdom were
of this world, then My servants would be fighting
so that I would not be handed over to the Jews;
John 18:33-37
but as it is, My kingdom is
not *of this realm.”
[37] Therefore Pilate said
to Him, “So You are a
king?” Jesus answered,
John 18:33-37
“You say correctly that I am a king. For this I have been born, and for this I
have come into the world, to testify to the truth.
Everyone who is of the truth hears My voice.”
John 19:8-12
[8] Therefore when Pilate
heard this statement, he
was even more afraid;
John 19:8-12
[9] and he entered into the
*Praetorium again and
*said to Jesus, “Where are
You from?” But Jesus
gave him no answer.
John 19:8-12[10] So Pilate *said to Him,
“You do not speak to me?
Do You not know that I
have authority to release
You, and I have authority
to crucify You?”
John 19:8-12[11] Jesus answered, “You would have no authority over Me, unless it had been given you from
above; for this reason he who delivered Me to you
has the greater sin.”
Why Did Jesus Die?
1) Real forgiveness is costly suffering.
Why Did Jesus Die?
2) Real love is a personal exchange.
The Surprise Winner
1 John 1:7[7] but if we walk in the
Light as He Himself is in the Light, we have fellowship with one
another, and the blood of Jesus His Son
cleanses us from all sin.
1 John 2:2
[2] and He Himself is the
propitiation for our sins;
and not for ours only,
but also for those of
the whole world.
1 John 3:16
[16] We know love by this,
that He laid down His life
for us; and we ought to
lay down our lives
for the brethren.
Let’s be people
that believe, and
become part
of His kingdom!
