Crucified and Risen | John 18:12–20:23 (John 16; Matthew 26)
For week 2, we celebrate Easter by taking a closer look at John 18:12-20:23. The religious leaders were up in arms because Jesus had claimed to be God. It didn’t matter that this was TRUE; the leaders were still ready to dish out the ultimate punishment. And Jesus chose to humble Himself, give up everything, and go to the cross. Then, God raised Jesus back to life! We’ll see how Jesus’ life, death, and resurrection make it possible for us to have a forever relationship with God.
