The Celebration of Passover Marks Gospel 14/15 DEATH 1.How did Jesus die? (Mark 15:24) “They crucified him.” The actual cross was the culmination of a methodical torture process Death was designed to be very slow It was always made very public Crucifixion was actually passive in the sense that the victim eventually killed himself. 2. How sure can we be that Jesus did in fact die? (Mark 15:25,33,37,44-45) A squad of four men, professionally trained as an execution team (v. 24) Many casual observers, interested only in watching the spectacle (v. 29, 35) to its bitter end and inevitable conclusion Some family and friends, risking everything, desperate for Jesus to somehow survive the ordeal (v. 40,43) The Roman centurion who’s reputation and life depended upon him being right (v. 39, 44-45) The fanatical religious leaders, bitter enemies of Christ, not about to let their murder plan fail at the last hurdle. (v. 31) 3. Why is it so important to our faith that Jesus died? The sign above his head: “THE KING OF THE JEWS.” Jesus’ last words: MY GOD, …WHY HAVE YOU FORSAKEN ME? The Centurion’s confession: SURELY THIS WAS THE SON OF GOD! REJECTED—-SEPARATED—-ACCEPTED John 1:12 “To all who received him to those who believed in his name, he gave the right to become the children of God.”
