1. There was a centurion involved (Luke 23:47).

2. There would be soldiers who had to do crowd control.

i. The ground had to be dug.
ii. The cross had to be hoisted.
iii. The prisoners had to be nailed.

AN ENTHUSIASTIC SOLDIER

When it was noted that Jesus had already died, not everyone believed that. One enthusiastic soldier wanted to make sure that Jesus had really died.

“But one of the soldiers pierced His side with a spear, and immediately blood and water came out.”

John 19:34

1. “But one of the soldiers”

a. The conjunction “but” was not used without significance.
b. He did not fully believe the comments of the other soldiers.
c. He had a different opinion.
d. He wanted clear proof that Jesus had indeed died.

2. “Pierced His side with a spear”

a. This soldier must have had some experience in using the spear.
b. He knew exactly where to thrust his spear.
c. This was a killing thrust.
d. If Jesus had not really died, then this spear thrust would have been the fatal stroke.

3. “And immediately blood and water came out”

a. The heart would have been pierced.
b. This would have brought instant death, if Jesus had not already died.
c. Blood and water would have been the confirming sign that the spear thrust was a fatal one.
