Fusion: week of 4/12

FAMILY THEME: RESURRECTION OF CHRIST

Mark 15:16 - 16:8

We see the pain. We see the humiliation and injustice. But at the

cross of Jesus, if we do not also see the great love of a great

Savior, we have missed the point.

1.  Jesus Was Mocked and Nailed to a Cross for Our Salvation

     (Mark 15:16-32)

     With a thorny crown and scornful salutes, the soldiers

     pretended to give worship to the condemned prisoner.

     They took Jesus to Mount Calvary, and others joined 

     in their mockery.

 
2.  Jesus Died and Was Buried to Make Our Salvation Possible

     (Mark 15:33-47)

     Jesus' burial proved that He was unmistakably dead and

     removed Him from life in this world for three days.

     

3.  Jesus Was Raised From the Dead to Guarantee Our Salvation

     (Mark 16:1-8)

     On Sunday, everything changed. The stone was rolled

     away, the tomb was empty, and Jesus was risen!
