Who’s on Trial? | Mark 15:1-20 | The Gospel of Mark (Msg 67) | 03/17/2024

In today's sermon, Pastor Andrew Coleman preaches on Mark 15: 1-20. In this passage we see the unlawful and discriminatory trial, the brutal torture, and the intense suffering that Jesus withstood for the sake of his people. As he faces the unfair trial before Pilate, it becomes clear that in reality, Jesus is not the one on trial--Pilate is. Jesus, the King of the universe, could have left the situation at any moment. "Do you think that I cannot appeal to my Father, and he will at once send me more than twelve legions of angels? But how then should the Scriptures be fulfilled, that it must be so?” (Matthew 26: 52-53). Jesus CHOSE to obey the Father and undergo immense suffering because of his great MERCY, LOVE, and GRACE toward his people. It is through him that we are saved! "But God, being rich in mercy, because of the great love with which he loved us, even when we were dead in our trespasses, made us alive together with Christ—by grace you have been saved—and raised us up with him and seated us with him in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus, so that in the coming ages he might show the immeasurable riches of his grace in kindness toward us in Christ Jesus. 8 For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God, 9 not a result of works, so that no one may boast" (Ephesians 2:4-9). ________________________________________ Links to Sermon Notes & Answers: ➤Sermon Notes (Blank): https://www.sheridanhills.org/_files/ugd/30fec2_4029f477f3e84bee902e330f2724e4c6.pdf ➤Sermon Notes (Answers): https://www.sheridanhills.org/_files/ugd/30fec2_fceebf82dff44c6bb498683d2d9a1a06.pdf ________________________________________ In this video: See the context of our text (Mark 15: 1-20) Overview of Jesus' trials Key Observations ________________________________________ Subscribe to this channel to catch weekly expositional sermons from the Bible. ________________________________________ Explore more sermons and information: https://www.sheridanhills.org/watch-new ________________________________________ Follow us: ➤Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/sheridanhills/ ➤Twitter: https://twitter.com/sheridanhills01 ➤Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/sheridanhills/
