Today I’m going to be talking to you guys about Mark 15:42-47, which is the burial of Jesus.
In our reading for today, Mark 15:16-26, we find ourselves in the midst of a chilling, yet stirring scene set between the nail of justice and the nails of the cross.
We’re coming to the end of our journey through Mark’s Gospel and we find ourselves in the middle of the Passion narrative. The unholy trinity of the high priests, the teachers of the law, and the elders have arrested Jesus and drummed up charges against him but they don’t have the authority to execute him. For that, they turn to the Roman governor, Pontius Pilate.
I’m here today to speak your today and say there is hope for you Peter. Jesus is coming to redeem you and restore you. The same way he gave hope to the shameful woman he met at a well in Samaria. The same way he dismissed accusers and dusted off a woman caught in the very act of her greatest sin, in deep disgrace and declared “I do not condemn you. Go! And sin no more.” Whoever you are listening today, Go. There is still more for you to do in God’s Kingdom.
