Sunday’s Sermon: “When They Tried to Cancel Christ”

Scripture Reading: John 19:23-25

Then the soldiers, when they had crucified Jesus, took His outer garments and made four parts, a part to every soldier and also the ^[a]tunic; now the tunic was seamless, woven ^[b]in one piece. ²⁴ So they said to one another, “Let us not tear it, but cast lots for it, to decide whose it shall be”; this was to fulfill the Scripture: “They divided My outer garments among them, and for My clothing they cast ^[c]lots.” ²⁵ Therefore the soldiers did these things.

But standing by the cross of Jesus were His mother, and His mother’s sister, Mary the wife of Clopas, and Mary Magdalene.
