Mark’s gospel has been a book of action as we’ve traveled with Jesus from his earliest moments of ministry to his final week. But, as Mark brings his gospel to a close, he slows the pace and we get an almost hour-by-hour account of what Jesus experienced.
We’ve watched Jesus cry out to God in Gethsemane, stand before the Jewish Sanhedrin and Pilate, and endure a Roman scourging. This week, Mark guides us through the final moments of Jesus' life as we witness the crucifixion and death of the Son of God.
This will be a heavy week at Renew. But, it’s a part of Jesus’ story we must linger in and learn from before we can celebrate all he won on Resurrection Sunday.
