In this episode, Erin Warren teaches through Mark 15-16 and wraps up this study called Unexpected Savior. It is hard to read these verses and see what our Savior suffered on our behalf, but we must press in. Mark pulls out all of his juxtapositions here: irony, insider/outsider motifs, the secret gospel and one final Markan sandwich to put an exclamation point on his account of Jesus' life. His final verses remind us of who Jesus is and how He accomplished His mission, and the account comes to an intentionally abrupt close that forces us to make our decision about Jesus and ultimately, our lives.
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.
