The man on the cross
As we approach Easter, we're reminded of the profound sacrifice made on our behalf. This message delves deep into Mark 15, exploring the crucifixion narrative and its immense significance for our faith. We're challenged to consider: whose place did Jesus take on the cross? It wasn't just Barabbas - it was each one of us. The weight of every sin, past, present, and future, was laid upon Christ. This sobering reality should transform how we view our salvation and our relationship with God. The tearing of the temple veil symbolizes our newfound access to the Father, purchased by Christ's blood. We're encouraged to draw near to God with confidence, knowing that our sins are forgiven and we're seen as righteous in His eyes. This message urges us to renew our appreciation for Christ's sacrifice and to live in light of the incredible gift we've been given.
