109// The Day Love Won: Jesus’ Sacrifice on the Cross: Mark 15

109//  The Day Love Won: Jesus’ Sacrifice on the Cross: Mark 15 In this episode, we reflect on the powerful and emotional story of Jesus’ crucifixion. Mark 15 takes us through the events leading up to Jesus’ death on the cross, including His suffering, mockery, and sacrifice. Even in the face of pain, Jesus chose to obey God’s plan for salvation. This episode reminds us that Jesus’ love for us is so deep that He willingly gave His life to forgive our sins and restore our relationship with God.  Key Points for Kids: - Jesus suffered greatly to take away our sins and give us new life.   - Even though people mocked and hurt Jesus, He chose to love and forgive.   - Jesus’ death on the cross shows us how much He loves us and how powerful God’s plan is.   - The temple curtain tearing symbolizes that we can now have a close relationship with God.   - Because of Jesus, we can live with hope, knowing that sin and death do not have the final say.   Memory Verse: “You were dead because of your sins…then God made you alive with Christ, for He forgave all our sins.” —Colossians 2:13-14 (NLT, paraphrased)   Do you have a question for Rachael?
