FEBRUARY 28 READING…MARK 15
Both the religious power structure and the political power structure condemned Jesus to death. Both had their own agenda and reasons for having Jesus put to death. What is clear is that this world stands against the Jesus of the Bible. I have noticed that people love a Jesus that looks, acts, and believes like them…but they don’t love the Jesus of the Bible. If they did, they would follow Him as their Lord. Pilate tries to wash his hands of responsibility for the death of Jesus…yet in his abdication of his responsibility he become responsible. Jesus is crucified…and even in His death a Roman centurion is brought to faith. They take Jesus’ body off the cross, and place it in a borrowed tomb. The work of redemption is finished, the sacrifice is given, and now forgiveness and eternal life are possible. When we trust in Jesus for who He is, and for what He has done, our sins are forgiven, because they have been paid for…and we now have eternal life.
Please share your thoughts.
