PASSOVER 2026 Sermon 5: BEHOLD THE LAMB – How John Shows the Whole Bible at the Cross

Pastor Ryan Perry

Good Hope Baptist Church

29 March 2026

Primary Texts: Exodus 12; Leviticus 14–16; Numbers 19; Psalms 51; Isaiah 53; Zechariah 12–13; John 18–20; Galatians 3:13; 1 Peter 2:24

Today we are going to see every symbol John places at the cross and why he includes them: The crown of thorns, The purple robe, The mocked kingship, The inscription “King of the Jews”, The seamless tunic, The sour wine, The hyssop branch, The blood and water, Golgotha, The garden tomb.

All of these are deliberate. All of them are biblical. All of them are telling the same story.

The Lamb is fulfilling the Scriptures. The Passover is reaching its goal. Redemption is being completed.
