Pilate was surprised to hear that he was already dead. Summoning the centurion, he asked him if Jesus had already died. When he learned from the centurion that it was so, he gave the body to Joseph...

It’s significant that Mark doesn’t mention the young apostle John, who was actually there. He only mentions the women at the cross.

With a loud cry, Jesus breathed his last breath. While people mock & ridicule him, He accomplised the salvation of the world. Jesus didn’t die of asphyxiation or infection or exhaustion. He died of a heart literally broken for the sin of the world.

Have You Forsaken Me God?? Sin separates you from God. On the cross, Jesus cried out in a loud voice, “Eloi, Eloi, lema sabachthani?” (which means “My God, my God, why have you forsaken me”

Have you insulted Jesus? Be forgiven! Jesus was crucified together with two criminals. Mark tells us that both of the men crucified with Christ insulted and mocked him; not just one of them.

You who are going to destroy the temple and build it in three days,come down from the cross and save yourself... The crowd was mocking Jesus because he had disappointed them. The crowd never forgave him for this. After all, if he had been the Messiah as he had claimed to be, he wouldn’t have ended up on the cross. And if he was going to save others, the first thing he had to do was obviously save himself.

Jesus Was Crucified Between Two Thieves. Call Them Rebels, Terrorists, Robbers, Criminals or Troublemakers - Dimas & Gestas Responded Differently To Jesus.

The reason why Jesus was executed was nailed above his head: “The King of the Jews.” Jesus had been designated as the King, not just of the Jews, but of the world, by God himself.

When Mark says, “And they crucified him”, he is referring to the gruesome death without any graphic details. At the Cross, Christ gave his robe of righteousness to all who would appreciate it and accept it. But the soldiers played while Jesus died.

At Golgatha, the first wine mixed with myrrh was designed to dull Jesus' pain, it was a strong narcotic to keep him from having to endure the cross with full consciousness. Jesus battled against the sin of the world.

Where was Jesus killed? Jesus was crucified at the place of the skull. Jesus didn't die under the roof of a beautiful temple, but under an open sky. He died for all, and his sacrifice knows no walls or boundaries.

God presents The Saviour before us. They Led Him Out To Be Crucified For Our Sins, for the sins of the world, as our saviour.

Is Jesus your Lord and Saviour? He Wore The Crown of Thorns For You As The King Over Death & Pain.

Aug 13, 2024 1277 “What shall I do, then, with the one you call the king of the Jews?” Pilate asked them (Mark 15:12, NIV). He asked the crowd, when it is a question that he should have answered only by listening to his conscience and no-one else. The other striking thing about this question is that the answer centres on the issues of life or death.

If you had just witnessed the transfiguration of Jesus, what would you be thinking and talking about? It’s interesting how Peter, James, and John react to having witnessed the transfiguration. God gave them an incredible privilege through this experience. But instead of responding with gratitude, or learning the very important lesson that God wanted them to learn, they started arguing about theology! They were still too full of the religion of the Pharisees. The Jewish religious teachers taught that Elijah had to come back to earth before the Messiah. So, in the thinking of the disciples, how could Jesus be the Messiah if he had come before Elijah, whom they just saw.

Peter rebuked Jesus about saying that he was going to Jerusalem where he would be killed. And Jesus in turn rebuked Peter for standing in his way with his worldly thinking. Now Jesus wanted to emphasise to the Twelve how different the spiritual reality is from the way that the world thinks. What Jesus said here were not the things that would make anyone popular. Jesus said these things after Peter had tried to block him from going to the Cross.
The soldiers heard Him yell, “It is finished.” And then, He gave up the ghost. The light of the world was out. Darkness covered the land. Heavens looked away,
