Today in Mark 15:16-47 we reach the cross. Mark's entire gospel account has been rushing forward to this point. The cross is the climax, the ultimate fulfillment of Jesus' life and ministry. It is why He came. The cross is the great declaration of God's love for sinners. As we walk through the final hours of Jesus' crucifixion and death the gospel narrative focuses on the purpose of Christ's suffering. On the cross Jesus took on our darkness so that we might become sons and daughters of the light, a people ransomed and awarded a new identity as redeemed and reconciled to God.
