Truth

John 18:1 – 19:42

{ THE SEED } What comes to mind when you read this ordinary word?

truth

{ THE SPROUT } How does the word change when part of the Gospel phrase?

testify to the truth

{ THE PLANT } How is God speaking to you today?

“For this I was born and for this I came into the world, to testify to the truth. Everyone who belongs to the truth listens to my voice.”

{ THE BEFORE } Does God’s message change knowing the Gospel setting?

Jesus went out with His disciples across the Kidron valley to where there was a garden, into which He and His disciples entered. Judas his betrayer also knew the place, because Jesus had often met there with His disciples. So Judas got a band of soldiers and guards from the chief priests and the Pharisees and went there with lanterns, torches, and weapons.

{ THE AFTER } Does God’s message change knowing the Gospel conclusion?

They took the body of Jesus and bound it with burial cloths along with the spices, according to the Jewish burial custom. Now in the place where He had been crucified there was a garden, and in the garden a new tomb, in which no one had yet been buried. So they laid Jesus there because of the Jewish preparation day; for the tomb was close by.
