One thought from John 19:31-42 is that what was written in the Old Testament many years ago was fulfilled as recorded in the Gospel writings. Just as witnesses in a courtroom place their hands on the Bible to affirm their commitment to truth, our faith in Jesus as the ultimate Truth is a testimony to His reliability and steadfastness. As the song by Avalon beautifully expresses, the Gospel message is “Solid As The Rock”. Offering a foundation stronger than even the unchanging laws of nature, like Newton’s law of gravity.  Let this assurance bring a smile to your day and a heart anchored in the certainty of walking with God.
