The Cross of the King (Mark 15:1-15)
Description
Brian G. Hedges reflects on Mark 15, leading listeners into the drama of Jesus’ crucifixion as the King who willingly takes our place in judgment, bearing God’s wrath for sin so that we might be forgiven and reconciled to God. He emphasizes the doctrines of substitution, propitiation (Christ bearing divine judgment on our behalf), and the inclusive welcome of outsiders — from Gentile soldiers to marginalized witnesses — into God’s kingdom through the crucified and risen Lord. Pastor Brian focuses on these key truths:
(6:06) 1. We witness a great exchange: substitution
(12:01) 2. We hear a cry in the darkness: propitiation
(21:21) 3. We see the welcome of the outsiders: reconciliation
