This is message 56 in Gospel Record of John John 19:1-15 Every person is eventually confronted with the same question: what will they do with Jesus Christ? Some see Him only as a man, others are troubled by the claims of His deity, and still others reject His authority as King because of the cost of surrender. Yet neutrality is impossible. Fear, pressure, and compromise can never remove the need for a decision. The One who was rejected, mocked, and crowned with thorns remains the rightful King, and every heart must choose whether to receive Him or turn Him away.

In a blasphemous conjunction of the spheres, this year is the 60th anniversary of the publication of the novella Behold the Man in New Worlds issue 166 - and a few weeks ago patron Nick Hopkinson sent me the link to an article by Professor Rowland Wymer in Vol 52 no 2 of the Interdisciplinary Critical Journal Mosaic from June 2019, titled The Imitation of Christ: Michael Moorcock's Behold the Man. The conjunction was completed when the Professor agreed to hop in to Derry & Toms to talk about his article, his journey into SF and how he came to teach it, living and drinking in Hull and lots of other stuff along the way. We briefly talk about Russian SF too, so here I am talking to Ralph Lovegrove on his excellent Fictoplasm Podcast about Roadside Picnic.
In our Good Friday Message, Brian shares with us from 5:7-9John 18:1-19:42. We see so many involved in this pivotal moment. As we read this text, where do we find ourselves in this story?
Behold, the Man! The Crucifixion of Christ - Friday of Holy Week 2026 by Shawn Ozbun
Sermon for Good Friday (A) Friday, 3 April A+D 2026 Rev. Matthew D. Ruesch
Send us Fan MailBro James Martin 4-1-26 Support the show
Sermon preached by Fr. Ben Sternke at The Table's worship service on March 29, 2026, (Palm Sunday).
The sermon centres on the profound significance of Christ's crucifixion as the sole means of salvation, emphasising that God's justice and mercy are fully revealed at the cross. Through a vivid examination of Matthew 27:33–44, it highlights the contempt, mockery, and challenges Christ endured—yet underscores His unwavering commitment to suffer fully in human consciousness, refusing pain relief to bear the full weight of sin. The sermon then turns to the remarkable compassion of Christ's first cry from the cross—'Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do'—revealing a prayer of intercession that was repeated, ongoing, and effective for all who repent and believe. This act of divine forgiveness, grounded in Christ's sacrificial death, is presented as the ultimate incentive for sinners to turn to Him in faith, with the assurance that salvation is available to all who come, not by merit, but by grace through the blood of the Lamb.

The fifth cry of Jesus from the cross shows us his ultimate humanity. Dive deeper with us as we consider how the Living Water could say, "I Thirst"
The sermon centers on John 19:5, where Pilate declares, 'Behold the man,' highlighting the profound tension between human will and divine sovereignty. While Pilate, seeking to appease both justice and the crowd, intended the phrase as a plea for compassion toward an innocent Jesus, God uses it as a divine revelation: a call to behold Christ not as a mocked king, but as the suffering substitute for humanity's sin. The passage underscores the Reformed doctrine of God's sovereignty, demonstrating how even the most powerful human efforts—Pilate's attempts to free Jesus—could not thwart the eternal plan of redemption. Through Christ's humiliation, the sermon reveals the depth of human pride and guilt, calling listeners to see themselves in the beaten and crowned figure, recognizing that His suffering was for their transgressions. Ultimately, 'Behold the man' becomes a gospel invitation: to see Christ's sacrifice as the only means of salvation, and to respond in repentance, faith, and hope for His coming glory.
Then Pilate took Jesus and flogged Him. And the soldiers twisted together a crown of thorns and put it on His head and arrayed Him in a purple robe. They came up to Him, saying, “Hail, King of the Jews!” and struck Him with their hands. Pilate went out again and said to them, “See, I am bringing Him out to you that you may know that I find no guilt in Him.” So Jesus came out, wearing the crown of thorns and the purple robe. Pilate said to them, “Behold the Man!” (John 19:1-5)
Pilate said to them, Behold I bring Him forth that you may know that I find no fault in Him. John 19:4
“Behold, my servant shall act wisely; he shall be high and lifted up.” Yet the Servant Isaiah describes is not adorned in visible splendor but “despised and rejected,” a Man of Sorrows acquainted with grief. In part 9 of our special 12-part series connecting Old Testament prophecy to New Testament fulfillment, we stand before one of the most profound portraits of the Messiah in all of Scripture. Here we see the One who bears our griefs, carries our sorrows, is wounded for our transgressions, and by whose stripes we are healed. The Rev. Chris Matthis, senior pastor of Epiphany Lutheran Church in Castle Rock, CO, joins the Rev. Dr. Phil Booe to study Isaiah 52:13–53:12. To learn more about Epiphany Lutheran, visit epiphanylc.org. This Advent series begins by covering the last Old Testament prophet, Malachi, and then spends twelve episodes alternating between Old Testament prophecy and New Testament fulfillment, tracing God's promises from Isaiah to the birth of Christ. The series explores Emmanuel's promise, the Davidic King, John the Baptist as forerunner, and reaches its climax with the Nativity. The final episodes examine the Suffering Servant, the shadow of the cross in Christ's infancy, Isaiah's Messianic mission statement, and John's declaration that "the Word became flesh." Thy Strong Word, hosted by Rev. Dr. Phil Booe, pastor of St. John Lutheran Church of Luverne, MN, reveals the light of our salvation in Christ through study of God's Word, breaking our darkness with His redeeming light. Each weekday, two pastors fix our eyes on Jesus by considering Holy Scripture, verse by verse, in order to be strengthened in the Word and be equipped to faithfully serve in our daily vocations.

BEHOLD THE MAN - John 19:1-16 I. Jesus Is Without Fault; vs.1-4 II. Jesus Holds the Power; vs.5-11 III. Jesus Is Led to The Cross; vs.12-16 Jesus is tried, sentenced and led to the cross.
Pastor Micah Klutinoty in John 19:1-22 shares that before we can behold the beauty of the Lamb, we must first face the horror of our sin that mocked, rejected, and crucified Him. Our sin placed shame upon the innocent Man, King Jesus, who bore our curse and thorns in full obedience and grace. Yet in His rejection and suffering, the mercy of God triumphed as Jesus hung on the cross to bring salvation to the ungodly.

Exultation of the Cross Behold the Man: The Cross and Our Shared Criminality Homily on the Passion and the Cross I Corinthians 1:18-24; St. John 19:6-11, 13-20, 25-28, 30-35 Christ was crucified among criminals, a mirror of our own sinfulness and complicity in His Passion. Yet like the repentant theif, we are invited to turn to Him in humility, behold His mercy, and enter the Kingdom with the New Adam who reveals true humanity. Enjoy the show! ++++++ Our Lord Jesus Christ, the God-man, was condemned and put on a cross to die in the midst of criminals. Not just the obvious criminals, such as the thieves on his right and his left, but he was surrounded by them. For the entire world had been given over to sin. The religious authorities, the ones who knew the law and the prophets, and should have been the first to support him, were certainly criminal. They “assembled together… unto the palace of the high priest, who was called Caiaphas, and consulted that they might take Jesus by subtlety and kill him.” (Matthew 26:3-4). They were jealous of Jesus, seeing how “the world is gone after him.” (John 12:9). They did not want a trial; they wanted his death. Remember that when the good and law-abiding man, Nicodemus, called them on this and suggested to them that Jesus be brought before the court for a hearing, saying, “Does our law judge any man, before it hears him, and know what he does?” They mocked Nicodemus, saying, “Art thou also of Galilee? Search, and look: for out of Galilee ariseth no prophet.” They were not interested in the Law or the Truth or even the facts; they were preserving their own comfort and power, and were willing to break the law and commit murder (deicide!) to protect it. They were criminals. Nor were they the only criminals. Think also of Judas, who participated in their perfidy by betraying his alleged friend and teacher for thirty pieces of silver. And then there was the entire crowd who came out, and in their own criminality, chose the convicted criminal Barabbas over Christ. As St. Nikolai Velimirovic puts it; “God or a criminal? And the criminals choose the criminal.” Yes, Christ was surrounded by criminals. But before we condemn them, let's remember one of the first rules of biblical interpretation; when the scriptures speak of bad men, be they the scribes and pharisees, Judas, the Jewish people, or even common criminals, we are to think not just of them, but how it is that we are like them. In our fallenness, it is easy to see the criminality of others, especially those with whom we disagree or are from other Babelic tribes than our own. But so often their crimes are not obvious because they are so heinous, but because they have been magnified by the problems with our vision – we can only see darkness when our eyes are full of darkness and it is hard to see anything objectively when we have giant honking logs sticking out of our eye-sockets. When tempted by such judgment, let us remember Christ, draw in the sand and say, “Let he who is without sin, throw the first stone.” Yes, we are all criminals of the sort that participated in the passion of our God; petty, jealous, riotous, scheming – it's all there in our hearts and on our lives for everyone to see. We are the criminals of this story. All of us have sinned against God and against His Way. But there was one criminal who stepped out of his sin and the propaganda of the devil, and repented. He accepted that he had earned his suffering. Again, paraphrasing St. Nikolai; blessed is the criminal who, in the midst of his very real agony, does not lash out in condemnation of the other criminals but rather recognizes that he has earned his cross because of his sins. The resulting clarity then allows him to see the God-man in his midst, repent, beg for God's mercy, and then find himself in Paradise with his saviour. We quote this saint every time we take communion: “Remember me, O Lord, when Thou comest into Thy kingdom”. We imitate his words, but do we imitate the deep transformation that allowed him, while feeling such pain, to say them? And now that we have looked at the crowds of the scene described in today's Gospel, let us look to Christ. Right before today's reading, Pilate had brought our Lord out before the people after he had been beaten and scourged and had a crown of thorns put on his head and had said, “Behold the man!”. Yes, let us behold the man. For Jesus was both fully God and fully man. And His humanity had brought Him immense agony. Earlier, we saw Him as a man when He was an infant in a cave, and when He and his family fled to Egypt, and when He was hungry and thirsty and had no place to lay his head. Of course we also saw Him as God, walking on water, quelling storms, healing the sick, and multiplying loaves. But at no time was his humanity more on display than from the Garden of Gethsemane to the Cross. First, sweat poured from his head like blood because of anguish, and then that blood was joined by more from the lashes and the crown and the nails. Jesus in the Garden was tormented; as man he knew pain and was expecting more – and as God He had ordained this as the path to the salvation of the world. St. Nikolai writes; “these two were in conflict and had to be brought into accord.” And so the man-mind and will went from the tortured; “if Thou be willing remove this up from Me” to the submissive “nevertheless, not My will, but Thine, be done.” And when He did this, He acquired a peace that could not be broken by unjust accusations, or blasphemies, or physical pain. Yes, “Behold the Man”! Behold the sort of man that God had in mind when he first formed Adam. A man obedient to God and willing to do everything so that some might be saved. Think of His dignity as He went to His death. Not only did He avoid grumbling and condemnations, “He worked for the good of all to His dying breath.” (SNV, 201) He desired good even in the midst of the pain of crucifixion, even in the midst of the most supreme injustice, and even in the midst of those who reviled Him. As St. Luke records, He said, “Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do.” Do we see the charity? Do we see the love? Are we not drawn to imitate Him in His magnanimity? Rather than throwing their sins against their teeth and shouting it out to God for vengeance, He was merciful toward them. For even if the criminals who assaulted Him used words to justify their blasphemy, they “knew not what they did.” “Behold the Man.” Are we men? Are we willing to imitate the Ur-Man, the New Adam; the very definition of what it means to be a man? Can we be charitable in our pain? Can we look to the salvation or others from the depths of our despair? And if this is, at least for now, beyond our reach, let us then imitate the one at his side, and focus not on the sins of others, but on our own, and turn to God in repentance, crying; “Remember me, Lord, in Thy Kingdom.”
Jesus is the perfect man and fulfillment of Old Testimate prophecy.

When the days grew near for Jesus to be taken up, He set His face like a flint to go to Jerusalem.” That's Luke nine, fifty-one, and this is Something Good Radio. Jesus' spent His entire three-year ministry serving the needs of others. Healing them. Helping them. Teaching them. But He never lost sight of His primary purpose, to go to Jerusalem and give His life for the sins of mankind. The Gospel of Luke highlights Christ's fierce determination to complete His ultimate task, and Ron takes us there next, as he continues his teaching series, “Route 66: The Ultimate Road Trip Through The Bible.”
One of the things that makes the Gospel of Luke different from the rest of the Gospels is that Luke spends much of his time talking about Christ's humanity. Yes, our Lord was and is fully God, but He was also fully human, a point Luke emphasizes throughout His Gospel account. Today, Ron takes us to the Gospel of Luke as he continues his teaching series, “Route 66: The Ultimate Road Trip Through The Bible.”
