Jubilee Life Coach: Daily Meditations

Summary John 19:28–30 records the final moments of Jesus' suffering on the cross. John writes: After this, Jesus, knowing that all was now finished, said (to fulfill the Scripture), “I thirst.” A jar full of sour wine stood there, so they put a sponge full of the sour wine on a hyssop branch and held it to his mouth. When Jesus had received the sour wine, he said, “It is finished,” and he bow...

Summary John 19:17–27 records Jesus going out to Golgotha, “the Place of a Skull.” He is moving, step by step, toward the hour for which he came. He will soon suffer immeasurable pain and unimaginable abandonment. Yet, he is steadfast. He is steadfast for us. What was Jesus' source of strength? Hebrews 12 says, Jesus, for the joy that was set before him, endured the cross" (Heb. 12:2). H...

Summary John 18:39–19:16 records one of the darkest and yet most revealing moments in the Gospel. Jesus stands before Pilate, innocent and calm, yet he is treated as though he were guilty. Pilate even knows Jesus has done nothing deserving death. Yet knowing the truth is not enough. Pilate still refuses to do what is right. The mob is given a choice. Pilate offers to release Jesus, but they ask fo...

Summary John 18:28–38 records Jesus being brought to the governor, Pontius Pilate, by the Jewish leaders. It is early morning. The irony is painful. The religious leaders will not enter Pilate’s headquarters because they do not want to be ceremonially "unclean" before the Passover, yet they are delivering over the true Passover Lamb to be killed. They care about religious "purity&qu...

Summary John 18:1–27 records the beginning of Jesus’ arrest. John presents Christ, not as a helpless victim being swept away by events. Rather, Jesus clearly knows exactly what is coming, and he steps forward to meet it. After crossing the Brook Kidron, he enters the garden with his disciples. That detail is striking. David once crossed the Kidron in the sorrow of betrayal, but now the greater Dav...

Summary John 17 lets us hear the prayer of Jesus on the night before the cross. He lifts up His eyes to heaven and says, “Father, the hour has come; glorify your Son that the Son may glorify you” (v. 1). The cross is now before Him. But Jesus does not speak as one defeated. He speaks as the Son who knows that through the cross the Father will be glorified and salvation will be accomplished. Then J...

Summary In John 16:25–33, Jesus tells them that until now He has spoken in parables, but the time is coming when He will speak more plainly about the Father. That does not mean everything will suddenly become easy for them, but it does mean that the light is beginning to break through. At this point, the disciples respond with a kind of sudden confidence. Their words are sincere, but Jesus knows t...

Summary In John 16:1–24, Jesus continues speaking to His disciples on the night before the cross. He knows what is coming, and He also knows what His disciples are about to face. He does not sugarcoat it. Hard days are ahead. They will be put out of the familiarity of their synagogues, and some people will even think that by hurting the disciples, they are somehow serving God. Jesus says this situ...

The Hatred of the WorldSummary In John 15:18–27, Jesus tells His disciples a hard truth before the cross. The world will hate them. But He also tells them why. “If the world hates you, know that it has hated me before it hated you” (v. 18). Their suffering will not mean that something has gone wrong. It will mean that they belong to Him. “Because you are not of the world, but I chose you out of th...

[Verse 1] I am the Vine, and you are the branches Called to bring life to the world today Rooted in love, our only assurance "Abide in Me," I hear the Savior say For every branch that draws from the Spirit Will find the strength to bloom and to stay [Chorus] I am the Vine, and you are the branches Heavenly Father, keep us faithful and true Ask what you will, the promise is given I loved...

Summary In John 15:1–17, Jesus speaks to His disciples on the night before the cross and tells them how they must live after He is gone. He says,  “I am the true vine, and my Father is the vinedresser” (v. 1).  In the Old Testament, Israel was often described as God’s vine (Is. 5:1-7; Ps. 80:8-16), yet Israel failed to bear the fruit God desired. Jesus now declares that He is the true vine, the fa...

[Verse 1] O sacred Head, now wounded With grief and shame weighed down Now scornfully surrounded With thorns, Thine only crown O sacred Head, what glory What bliss till now was Thine! Yet, though despised and gory I joy to call Thee mine [Verse 2] What Thou, my Lord, hast suffered Was all for sinners' gain Mine, mine was the transgression But Thine the deadly pain Lo, here I fall, my Savior!...

[Rap Verse 1] Yo, sent from the throne, yeah, the Father’s only Son, Walked among the broken till the victory was won. They called Him Jesus, Love in the flesh, a divine design, Healed every scar, redefined the finish line. He took the weight of the world with a grace so deep, Paid a debt I couldn’t afford, a promise He’d keep. Now the stone’s rolled back, see the grave is a ghost town, Pardon’s b...

Jesus Promises the Holy Spirit 15 “If you love me, you will keep my commandments. 16 And I will ask the Father, and he will give you another Helper,[a] to be with you forever, 17 even the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it neither sees him nor knows him. You know him, for he dwells with you and will be in you. 18 “I will not leave you as orphans; I will come to you. 19 Yet...

Today’s passage records Jesus comforting his anxious disciples. Verse 1, “Let not your hearts be troubled. Believe in God; believe also in me.” Jesus does not simply say, “Everything will be fine.” The disciples have already heard deeply unsettling things: Jesus is going away, Judas will betray him, and Peter will deny him. This is the kind of moment that can make a person’s heart collapse. And it...

John continues to introduce Jesus Christ as the One who is bringing the fulfillment of God's Word, spoken through the prophets. What is heartbreaking about the fulfillment is that it is none other than Jesus’ own disciple who would betray Him. Now, the disciples did not know who it was or would be. And, therefore, we too ask ourselves, “Could it be me?” Naturally, we ask what we can do to ens...
