As Easter approaches, we pause to remember the suffering, death and resurrection of Jesus for our salvation. Over the next few weeks, we will be revisiting the passion of Jesus as recorded in the Gospel of Mark. Jesus' "passion" refers to his final suffering: his betrayals, arrest, trial, torture, crucifixion and death. All four Gospels given extended attention to Jesus' last hours, because his death and resurrection was the central reason he came. Let us walk again with Jesus down the dark and lonely road that leads to the cross.
