Reading Large Chunks of Scripture
Day 14/15
Mark 15

This chunk tells of the judgment, crucifixion, and death of Jesus. He's judged by mob mentality, not because he's proved guilty of anything. In fact it seems as if he condemns himself to death by his integrity. The telling of his death is done in a way that's maybe more narrative than history. To me it seems that Mark is more about what happened - or what it meant - than what happened in each second in some sort of scientifically observed way. This man died. His death changed the world, transformed people, shook the very foundations of the earth. If his death was like that........then who was he?
