Calvary Chapel Of Crook County - Main

The Jews wanted to make sure Jesus was off the cross before the Sabbath, and as prophesied, He was already dead before they had to hasten the process by breaking His legs. John wrote this to make it clear that Jesus had actually died and so that the reader would believe. Then, after death, His body was removed by two secret Jewish followers and carefully prepared according to Jewish law. All this detail was given to us to drive us down the avenue toward faith in Jesus.
