Reflection on Mark 15

Mark 15: 1-47

They crucified two rebels with him, one on his right and one on his left.

Those who passed by hurled insults at him, shaking their heads and saying, “So! You who are going to destroy the temple and build it in three days, come down from the cross and save yourself!”

In the same way the chief priests and the teachers of the law mocked him among themselves. “He saved others,” they said, “but he can’t save himself!

Let this Messiah, this king of Israel, come down now from the cross, that we may see and believe.” Those crucified with him also heaped insults on him. (vs.27-32).

Jesus is the BETTER Messiah whose death conquers death and gives life to those he loves and those who kill him.

Jesus is the BETTER Redeemer whose blood washes away ALL the sin of the world.

Jesus is the BETTER Saviour who does not save himself by coming down the cross but saves the whole universe by staying on the cross.
