The Lamb of God takes away the sin of the world

John 19:34 ESV

But one of the soldiers pierced his side with a spear, and at once there came out blood and water.

Different ways to deal with sin

Blame someone.

“What I did is no big deal!”

Live in denial.

Rush around from one event to the next so that at night you collapse.

Get addicted to TV, sports, money—you name it.

None of this works!!!

The real solution to sin

Stand with John under Christ’s cruel cross.

Good Friday, but not for Jesus.

“Sheep Alive, Covered in Shepherd’s Blood.”

Τετέλεσται

John 19:30 ESV

When Jesus had received the sour wine, he said, “It is finished,” and he bowed his head and gave up his spirit.
