In this episode of Exiles, the Gospel of Mark Podcast, hosted by Grace Church in Erie, Pennsylvania, the team continues their exploration of Jesus' final days in Jerusalem as depicted in the Gospel of Mark, chapter 15. As the group discusses the implications of Jesus' trial, crucifixion, and the concept of substitution with Barabbas, they reflect on what it means to follow Jesus’ example in facing persecution, living out justice, and wielding other-worldly power. The conversation delves into personal and theological reflections on how Christians should navigate their lives by embodying a non-anxious presence and being witnesses through their actions rather than mere words. As part of their concluding remarks, the team also explores the idea of living faithfully in today's political and social climate while maintaining the posture of Christ. Listeners are encouraged to reflect on 'What shall I do with Jesus?' and to strive to emulate His life of obedience and sacrificial love.00:00 Introduction and Welcome00:35 Casual Conversations and Introductions03:31 Listener Questions and Deep Dive09:06 Discussing Pastor Derek's Sermon21:17 The Non-Anxious Presence of Jesus22:23 The Last Games in the Colosseum24:00 Jesus' Different Kind of Power25:16 The Concept of Witness and Martyrdom26:11 The Upside-Down Kingdom31:37 The Substitution of Barabbas37:52 Living Out the Gospel43:04 Closing Thoughts and Future Plans
