THE PROPHET'S TESTIMONY: NO BONES BROKEN
(Message by Tanny Keng)
1. The Prophets’ Testimony
a) When someone expects our trust, we look for credentials. What entitles that person to our trust? What testimony is there that this person should be believed? This applies to our faith in Jesus. He has credentials. He is not without testimony that he is truly whom he claims to be.
b) Over the centuries, prophets had been speaking and writing about the Messiah who was to come. They foresaw many aspects of his life.
2. No Bones Broken
John 19:31-36
31 Therefore, because it was the Preparation Day, that the bodies should not remain on the cross on the Sabbath (for that Sabbath was a high day), the Jews asked Pilate that their legs might be broken, and that they might be taken away. 32 Then the soldiers came and broke the legs of the first and of the other who was crucified with Him. 33 But when they came to Jesus and saw that He was already dead, they did not break His legs. 34 But one of the soldiers pierced His side with a spear, and immediately blood and water came out. 35 And he who has seen has testified, and his testimony is true; and he knows that he is telling the truth, so that you may believe. 36 For these things were done that the Scripture should be fulfilled, “Not one of His bones shall be broken.”
Psalm 34:20
20 He guards all his bones;
Not one of them is broken.
