THE FINAL HOURS
Mark tells us of the last
hours of Jesus by telling us about:
PILATE'S RELUCTANT
CONSENT - Vss. 1-15
Pilate gave in to the
demands of the Jewish leaders.
He tired to find a way
to not crucify Jesus, but in the end yielded to their
demands.
THE SOLDIERS' REPULSIVE
CONDUCT - Vss. 16-28
They mocked and beat
Him. Vss. 15-18
They crucified Him.
Vss.19-28
THE PEOPLE'S REBELLIOUS
CHALLENGE - Vss. 29-32
Those who didn't believe
on Him challenged Him to come off the cross.
Staying on the cross
secured forgiveness for all that trust Him as Savior.
THE SAVIOR'S RIGHTEOUS
CONQUEST - Vss. 33-38
Our Lord died for our
sins and secured forgiveness.
The torn veil showed
that God had accepted Jesus' sacrifice, and that there
was now, through Jesus, access into the Father's presence.
