Mark #5, The Journey to the Cross & Beyond
All of this is to some degree important or it wouldn’t otherwise be in the text.
Nonetheless, it seems that a few points are especially relative:
1. the Crucifixion.
2. the Burial.
3. the Resurrection.
4. the Commissioning of the Twelve.
Mark #5, The Journey to the Cross & Beyond
The Importance of the Crucifixion.• Jesus died for your sins & mine.
Rom.3:23 & 6:23
• Jesus was separated from the His Father that we might be joined to Him eternally, 15:34 > 2Cor.5:21 >
Rom.5:6-11.
• The Crucifixion of Jesus proved His Humanity- God cannot die! Heb.2:17
Mark #5, The Journey to the Cross & Beyond
The Importance of the Resurrection.• As death proved His humanity, the
Resurrection from the dead proved His divinity!
• This gives us hope!
• Our bodies too must die….
but this is not our end anymore than it was for Jesus! We too will be resurrected, 1Cor.15:12-28.
Mark #5, The Journey to the Cross & Beyond
The Importance of the Commission.• It contains the very core of the gospel
which was and must be preached to all creation, v.15.
• It tells us how we too must be crucified to be resurrected:
-Believe and be Baptized, Rom.6:3
-to be Saved, Rom.6:4-11.
Mark #5, The Journey to the Cross & Beyond
Think about this as we conclude our study of Mark:
• Are all the miracles and teachings of Jesus, the life that He lived, wasted on you?
• Is the sacrifice of His Passion for naught your case?
• Does His/the Resurrection inspire you with Hope or Dread?
