John 19-21

CH – 19 Thing 4 wanted to know why the cross carrier, Simon, who helped Jesus wasn’t mentioned…thing 1 wanted to know why Jesus was known as a Nazarene if He was born in Bethlehem….Thing 3 wanted to know why the Jewish leaders wanted the sign changed…thing 1 wanted to know why His side was pierced… thing 2 wanted to know if Jesus was still alive when they cast lots for his garment…thing 1 waned to know why they used 75 pounds of myrrh and aloes….Jesus was buried by the customary Jewish ritual…thing 4 referred to BRICK TESTAMENT again…thing 3 took notice that John shares with us that Nicodemus and Joseph of Arimathea picked up Jesus’ body…
CH – 20 Thing 4 wanted to know who moved the stone away from the tomb…thing 3 wanted to write the word Rabbi, that Mary said, in Hebrew…thing 1 wanted to know the point of guarding the tomb...she also wanted to know if Thomas would still be blessed even though He doubted…pretty cool to think about…we’re blessed even through our struggles…
CH – 21 Mom just loved the passion of Peter…as soon as he realizes its Jesus voice He jumps into the water 100 yards from shore because he can’t wait to see Jesus…thing 3 wanted to know if Jesus asked Peter 3 times for the 3 times Peter denied Him…I must share that verse 12 has bothered me for the last several years…every time I read it I am troubled by the context…John tells us none of the disciples dared asked Him who He was because they knew it was Jesus…why didn’t Mary recognize Him…she thought he was the gardener?...Friends Scripture tells us Jesus still bears the marks of His suffering…His face is still so scarred that His closest friends didn’t recognize Him…He bares those marks for you...
