Sermon Bible Commentary - Mark 15:24-41

Mark 15:24-41 What took place around the Cross of Christ. I. Notice what men did during the crucifixion of Christ. (1) The soldiers. They are careless and confident. They cast lots for the clothes of the Lord. Their thoughts are all for this world.

Mark 15:26The King of the Jews.Jesus mocked and crucifiedJesus suffered and died under the forms of law. His execution was the result of a six-fold trial-three trials at the hands of the Jews, and three at the hands of the Romans. When Jesus was led to Golgotha bearing His cross, He had stood at the focal point of the world’s best light and been pronounced guilty of death. For what offence? Pilate, as the custom was, with his own hand wrote the charge. “And the superscription of His accusation... read more
