The Rejection
Apr 7, 2019 • Nate Akin
Summary: In this text, we will see the rejection of Christ and the plot against His life. Jesus will endure injustice for our sake. The text demonstrates clearly to us the substitution of Christ in the place of sinners, as He the righteous one is condemned, while Barabbas the unrighteous one is freed. Jesus demonstrates all the more His obedience to God and His love for us!
Mark 15:1-20
Main Idea: Jesus is rejected by the World, as the only truly innocent One takes the place of the guilty!
I. Jesus is Accused, and Pilate is Amazed (Mark 15:1-5)
II. Jesus is Rejected, and Barabbas is Freed (Mark 15:6-15)
III. Jesus is Beaten, and the Soldiers Mock (Mark 15:16-20)
