40 days with Mark and Jesus (38)

Thu 20 Mar: Mark 15:1-20

Pilate thinks he is a powerful man, but he is weak before an unruly crowd. The crowd thinks they can silence Jesus by crucifying him and the soldiers ignore his claims by mocking him. The powerful, majestic character in these verses is the Lord who is suffering for those who abuse him.
Prayer: ‘Not what I will, but what you will’. Lord Jesus so often we wish you would save us in our way, thank you that you have saved us your way.
