John 19:16b-22 (March 31st)

Read John 19:16b-22.
Why did Pilate write the inscription?
Jesus predicted “And I, when I am lifted up from the earth, will draw all people to myself” (John 12:32). Maybe Pilate wrote the inscription out of annoyance with the Jewish leaders, but his answer “I have written what I have written” reminds us of God’s sovereign hand in the words. Jesus, on the cross, is proclaimed as King to all the world (Aramaic, Latin and Greek).

Read: John 19:19-20

Think: why did lots of people read Pilate’s sign?
What do you think they thought?

Pray: for lots of people to hear that Jesus is the King who died on the cross.

Do: write ‘Jesus of Nazareth, King of the Jews’ in Greek or Aramaic or Latin. Can you work out which word is which?

Planning your Visit

Welcome to St John's Church!

We are so delighted that you have found our website. We are a Church family in Wimborne for anyone living, working or studying around this area. Whoever you are, whatever your age, whether you’re an experienced Christian or not, we would love you to join us.

From an intrigued onlooker to the committed follower we are keen that everyone should grow in relationship with God through knowing Jesus. To help us do that our emphasis is on hearing God speak to us by his Holy Spirit through his word, the Bible. Each of us knows that we only grow in a relationship with someone and get to know them when we spend time listening to them and responding and reacting to what they say. So the focus of St John’s is on listening to God’s word, talking to him in prayer and taking up all that he says.

The Church family here at St John’s longs to help anyone who wants to investigate the life of Jesus. On this site you will find people, meetings, talks and events shaped to help you take another step forward in finding out more about God and his love for us in Jesus, and to help you get linked into the church family life.

We hope to have the opportunity to meet you personally in the very near future and that you will quickly feel at home at St John’s.
