—John 19:31-37
by: Grace Crouch.
Desiring a prettier setting, the Jews decided to have the bodies removed from view for their special Sabbath. Again, John shares details in order to prove to the reader that the scriptures were fulfilled. Jesus' sides were pierced and his blood flowed out. What a picture to have painted in the mind's eye. There was no doubt now that he was dead.
