The Gospel of MarkSample

Today, take some time to read this quote from Spurgeon visualizing the crucifixion scene. We encourage you to look at the depth of detail and imagery Chapter 15 gives us to fully understand the depth, width, and determination of Jesus's love for us to bring us home and grant us freedom through His love for us.

“See that scarlet robe; it is a contemptuous imitation of the imperial purple that a king wears... See, above all, that crown upon his head. It has rubies in it, but the rubies are composed of his own blood, forced from his blessed temples by the cruel thorns. See, they pay him homage, but the homage is their own filthy spittle which runs down his cheeks. They bow the knee before him, but it is only in mockery. They salute him with the cry, ‘Hail, King of the Jews!’ but it is done in scorn. Was there ever grief like his?” (Spurgeon)
