Markus 15:5

We all have a common denominator. We will die. I will die. You will die. Death will defeat you. You won’t be able to dodge it, sidestep it, trick it or make it disappear. But then there is Jesus, the man who defeated the grave. Jesus stood toe to toe with the grave and defeated death. When Jesus talks, the grave speaks.

Let’s slow down this Holy Week and learn from Christ’s final days on earth. Each day we will receive lessons or gifts that He took the time to give. Do you need a fresh reminder of what mattered most to Christ—that you love His people and follow Him? What could He want to teach you this Holy Week?

Markus se korter Evangelie beskryf Jesus Christus se aardse bediening as die lydende Dienaar en Seun van die mens. Reis daagliks deur Mark terwyl jy na die oudiostudie luister en uitgesoekte verse uit God se woord lees.

Stephan Joubert gesels oor Paasfees en herinner jou dat dit by die kruis is waar God wys hoe lief Hy vir ons is. In die Lydenstyd en Paastyd beleef ons opnuut hoe duur Jesus se aardse sending Hom gekos het. Ons herinner onsself dat Hy selfs die dood moes trotseer sodat ons vir altyd in sy lig mag leef. Jesus het inderdaad sy grootste wonderteken vir laaste gelos.
