In this episode, Erin Warren teaches through Mark 11. Jesus arrives at Jerusalem's doorstep and enters deliberately and triumphantly into the city and into the Holy Week. Mark makes a bold statement about what Jesus has come to do through another Markan sandwich. This week required a little extra cultural study to fully grasp the meaning behind the withered fig tree and the cleansing of the temple. The time has come; Jesus is about to accomplish for us what we could not do on our own.

The Gospel of Mark challenges the expected ideal of the Messiah—not a conquering king or a wish-granting genie, but rather a man of sorrows and a suffering servant. This short yet impactful account of Jesus’ life reveals the character of the One who came to save us.  Jesus was not what they were expecting; He was better.
