Desire of the Cross / John 19.28

The following questions are provided to help you dig in and apply the sermon on Sunday.  You can use these questions in your personal reflections, but we would encourage you to discuss these with other people in your life as you seek to grow in your relationship with Jesus.
If you missed Sunday’s sermon, you can watch it online.
  1. How are you growing in your understanding of what was accomplished on the cross?
  2. In Jesus the divine and human nature was united. How important is that to you? Why is this theological truth essential to our understanding of God?
  3. On the cross Jesus experienced thirst. Where else do you see His humanity in Scripture?
  4. What does it mean to you to know Jesus endured the cross as a man? How does His humanity help you connect intimately with Him? How does His humanity draw Him closer to you?
  5. Reflect and mediate on Hebrews 4.14-16. What speaks most personally to you in these verses?
    Therefore, since we have a great high priest who has ascended into heaven, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold firmly to the faith we profess. 15 For we do not have a high priest who is unable to empathize with our weaknesses, but we have one who has been tempted in every way, just as we are—yet he did not sin. 16 Let us then approach God’s throne of grace with confidence, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in our time of need.
