Mark 15:33-38
"To attempt to revive the Jewish ceremonial in the Church of Christ, by returning to altars, sacrifices, and a priesthood, is nothing better than closing up again the rent veil, and lighting a candle at noon-day."
"The darkness endured by our blessed Surety on the cross was only for three hours. The chains of darkness which shall bind all who reject His atonement and die in sin, shall be for evermore."
Questions:
1. Does it not strike us that it took the very Son of God to come and pay for our sins and bring us to God? Do we think little or much of the offence our sin is to God?
2. Even though this text is very specific to Jesus, Ryle argues it has implication for believers as well. Have you ever felt forsaken of God? If so, does this truth give you encouragement, and if it doesn’t, why not?
