On this Palm Sunday, Mark reflects on the significance of Jesus' death on the cross. He emphasises the depth of Jesus' sacrifice and the forgiveness it offers to all who believe. The darkness that covered the land and the tearing of the temple curtain symbolise the judgment of God and the access we now have to Him through Jesus. Mark reminds us that Jesus willingly laid down His life for us, and encourages us to adopt His attitude of humility and selflessness towards others. This powerful message reminds us of the incredible love and grace of our Saviour.
