40 days with Mark and Jesus (39)

Fri 21 Mar: Mark 15:21-47

We should take our time today and read these words over again.
They think he can save himself by coming down from the cross, by staying on the cross he saves a lost world.
A Roman centurion confesses ‘Surely this man was the Son of God’, words we remember from Mark 1:1. This is to be our confession; the Son of God has died for our salvation.

Prayer: Lifted up was he to die, ‘It is finished’ was his cry; now in heaven exalted high: alleluia! What a Saviour! Lord Jesus teach me again that it is my sin you bear on the cross, my penalty you pay, my forgiveness you achieve, and let me sing with joy ‘Alleluia! What a Saviour!’
