Easter Sermon Series: At Cross Purposes
The Gospel of Mark wrestles with the question "why Jesus had to suffer and die?" The book ends dramatically in this way: “And they went out and fled from the tomb, for trembling and astonishment had seized them, and they said nothing to anyone, for they were afraid” (Mark 16:8). The women were confused and ran from the tomb with fear. And they were not the only ones to be confounded by the crucifixion of Jesus. All of the disciples abandoned Jesus and fled (Mark 14:50). His arrest, crucifixion, and death made no sense to them. At the cross, the only one who comes close to understanding is the Roman centurion who declares, “Truly this man was the Son of God!” (Mark 15:39). Why all the confusion? Turns out the disciples had a very different vision of who the Messiah should be and how he should establish his reign. God’s plan did not match theirs.
Have we understood the necessity of Jesus’ suffering, death, and resurrection?
What should we do when God’s plan for our lives does not match ours?
