Crucified, Dead, and Buried
Jesus was crucified, dead, and buried – but His cross has opened the way for people of all nations to become part of God’s people and come into the very Presence of God.
Mark 15:20-47
The Scourge, the Scorn, and the Scripture
Jesus faithfully endured scourging and scorn, strengthened by His understanding that these sufferings fulfilled the prophetic Scriptures and were according to God’s will.
Mark 15:15-32
Understanding the Cross – The Suffering Servant
Jesus, the Servant of the Lord, suffered and died in payment for our sins, but through that very suffering and the resurrection He was victorious to bring us salvation.
Mark 15:15; Isaiah 52:13-53:12
Jesus On Trial – Pilate
Pilate, the religious leaders, and the crowd worked together to wrongfully crucify Jesus in the place of a wicked man. This act mirrors the Gospel – we are freed from the punishment we deserve because Christ willingly takes our place.
Mark 15:1-15
