Tune in to hear Pastor Josh teach from John’s account of the Crucifixion of Christ in John 19:
“Jesus is more than just a good teacher and his death is so much more than a good example to those who would follow him. He is the Passover Lamb (1 John 2:2) who died for the sins of the world…The Law forbid that any of a Passover Lamb’s bones be broken (Exod. 12:46; Num. 9:12)…Jesus dies along with the Passover Lambs, but they are merely intended to foreshadow his once-and-for-all sacrifice. As the true Passover Lamb, his bones are not broken despite the circumstance that called for it…Jesus’ mission was to fulfill what the lamb that day could not: to offer himself as a sinless sacrifice for sinful men, so that (Hebrews 2:9) by the grace of God he might taste death for everyone. Jesus grants greater freedom than Israel could ever imagine: freedom from slavery to sin and the oppression of death.”
