Joy to the World! The Lord is Come! (Mk 15:1-16:8)
The Jesus of Christmas was born to die. His death would make our forgiveness possible. The path to the Cross included the rejection of God's people, contradictory witnesses, sham trials, corrupt politicians, intense mocking, severe scourging, and an eerie darkness. But the ultimate result was the resurrection of the Savior as our King.

The Death of Religion
As we continue our look into the final hours of Jesus' life, we are asking the question, "Why is this bloody story of betrayal and murder called good news?"
