Three women returned to the tomb in which Jesus’ body had been laid. Just as women had provided for Jesus’ needs when he was alive, they remained faithful after his death despite the potential danger and the physical challenge of moving the sto
As Jesus endured the physical agony of crucifixion and the spiritual weight of sin, causing darkness to come over the land, he cried out the opening line of Psalm 22. Perhaps, someone misheard him and thought he was calling on Elijah. Some thou
Psalm 22 was written by King David at a time when he felt abandoned by God, and experienced great danger and deprivation. It begins abruptly, with a disturbing scene: someone who knows and trusts God is forsaken, and cries out to God in agony.
Before Jesus was sent to be crucified, the Roman soldiers of the Praetorium humiliated him. The crown of thorns, their bending of the knee and the purple robe were evidence they held Jesus’ claim to be King in contempt. The soldiers struck him
Jesus has been found guilty of blasphemy by the Sanhedrin and now is brought before Pontius Pilate, the Roman Governor of Judaea, because the Jews were not able to execute anyone who had broken their religious laws. Now, the religious leaders b
Directly after Peter proclaims that Jesus is the Messiah, Jesus begins to teach his disciples what it means for him and what he will do. Jesus now teaches directly (plainly in the text) about his impending suffering, rejection and execution...a
In school, I wasn’t sporty at all but I was moderately good at cricket. My front foot defence was relatively solid and my pull shot was, well, passable. Batting in cricket involves a number of skills but one of the most important is watching th
If someone comes claiming to be Jesus or the Messiah, don’t believe them! That is the too long didn’t read version of today’s passage. Jesus continues to teach that the pain and suffering that we saw yesterday, mercifully, will be cut short. It
Yesterday, we flew through the opening verses of Jesus words of warning and encouragement to the disciples and today we slow down a bit. Jesus is still talking about the destruction of the temple, but also about his coming again. These two time
There is something quite awe-inspiring about great architecture. At the beginning of the year I was in Sydney, and even though I had lived there for most of my childhood, I still found myself taken aback at how big the buildings were and also h
Yesterday we looked at the most important commandment and today we continue in the middle of that discussion. The second is to love your neighbour as ourselves. If we love God with everything that we have and put him first, the natural outworki
What is at the heart of being a Christian? What are the most important things to being a follower of Jesus? These aren’t small questions but the answer is actually pretty easy, “love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul
In one of their final last-ditched efforts to entrap Jesus, the Pharisees and Herodians have become frenemies! Whilst these groups were not normally allies, they are now unified in their mission with a shared enemy in Jesus. They figure now, th
As we continue in the parable, things now reach a tragic end. As the tenants had rejected the servants that the landlord had sent to them, he now sends his own son with the great hope that they will respect him. But of course, instead of listen
In this stark parable from Jesus (we’ll explore the second part tomorrow), it’s absolutely correct to be flabbergasted by the way in which the tenants deny the owner’s rights and then reject the messengers that are sent to them. It’s important
In this little section, the authority of Jesus is directly questioned by the chief priests and elders. They’re questioning him because his actions indicate that he thinks he has authority over the Temple. Thus, the religious hierarchy probably
Immediately after his entry (vv.8-10), Jesus’ first action is to go to the Temple. When he arrives at the Temple it’s late, so Jesus heads to Bethany with the disciples. The very next day, things escalate with Jesus speaking words of judgment a
As Jesus enters Jerusalem, it marks the beginning of a dramatic chapter of his life and ministry which reaches its culmination in his death and resurrection. Prior to entering the city, there has already been plenty of conflict. However, whilst
In a scene reminiscent of an incident earlier (cf. mark 9:33-37), some of the disciples are once again are jostling for greater positions in the kingdom to come. They’ve somehow managed to filter out anything that Jesus has said about his suffe
The time of Jesus’ arrest, ‘trial’, and death is almost at hand. However, as becomes increasingly evident, the disciples still do not understand the horror that Jesus must face in order that we can be saved. And so for the third time, on their
Who then can be saved? That’s the question at the very heart of this encounter between Jesus and the rich man. Falling on his knees before Jesus, obviously recognising something of Jesus’ authority, the man expresses his desire to inherit etern
If you’ve ever had someone trying to ‘trip you up’, then you’ve got some sense of what it was like for Jesus with the Pharisees. The Pharisees have been constantly and consistently testing Jesus, not to earnestly discern who he is, but in order
As Jesus has more of an influence around the region, his fold of followers is growing. Concerned by what they see, the disciples are wondering if they should put a stop to people who are ministering in Jesus’ name. There is also some irony as t
Once again, Jesus has been prioritising teaching his disciples. He’s already shared so much with them, especially relating to his mission to the cross, but once again (the second prediction in Mark) Jesus warns them that he will suffer, die, an
This passage in Mark’s gospel is known as the ‘Second Passion Prediction’ (there are three in total). Why didn't the disciples just ask Jesus to explain? Possibly because they didn't want to appear confused. Or, perhaps his teaching disturbed t
