Exposition of Mark 15:16-23 and the mocking of Jesus by the Roman soldiers in preparation for His crucifixion.

God uses moments of crisis to reveal three things to us: more of ourselves, more of Christ, and more of our need for His Grace. Few crises demonstrate this more than Peter's denial of Jesus. In Peter, we find a prototype of ourselves--and bear powerful witness to the love and faithfulness of Jesus, even when we are unfaithful!

Christ has the authority to save us from everything that threatens us—our pride, our fear, our past failings, our sickness, the devil who seeks to devour us, even our very sin-nature. It is Christ’s authority—on full display in today’s text—that restores us and all of creation to the unity and perfection designed by God at creation.
