S7 E10 | Dr. Caryn A. Reeder | The Cross of Christ in the Book of John

In this episode of The Alabaster Jar, Dr. Lynn Cohick concludes our Cross of Christ series with Dr. Caryn A. Reeder as they talk about how John tells the story of Jesus’ crucifixion and resurrection. They explore how Jewish festivals, the Passover Lamb imagery, and Jesus washing his disciples’ feet shape John’s portrait of sacrificial love and service. They consider how John reframes the humiliation of crucifixion as glory, and how Jesus’ exchanges with Pilate highlight questions of truth, power, and kingship. Then, they conclude by reflecting on Nicodemus’s gradual movement toward devotion and Mary Magdalene’s encounter with the risen Jesus.
