Mark: Journeying With Jesus

DAY 13 OF 21

Mark records the different perspectives of people who witnessed the death of Jesus.

Pontius Pilate

The Roman Governor who knows Jesus is innocent at his public trial.

He chooses to release a murderer named Barabbas instead. He gives into peer pressure and goes with the crowd.

The soldiers

The soldiers are too busy gambling for Jesus’ clothes.

They don’t realize the importance of the cross. They’re wrapped up in themselves.

The religious leaders

Self-righteous and arrogant

They think they don’t need Jesus and can get to God themselves. They reject Jesus and mock him as he hangs there dying.

A Roman centurion

A professional officer of the Roman army who had fought many campaigns and seen many men die.

But he’d never seen anyone die like this.

He’s different. He gets it right.

Mark 15:39

And when the centurion, who stood there in front of Jesus, heard his cry and saw how he died, he said, "Surely this man was the Son of God!"

REFLECT | Who do you most identify with? How does Jesus' death change your relationship with God?
