Listen "Mark 15: All React, Centaurion Sees How ☧ Dies as Son of God"
Episode Synopsis
Rev. Duncan McLellan, pastor of St. Paul's Lutheran Church in Ankeny, Iowa, joins host Rev. AJ Espinosa to study Mark 15.
“Truly this man was the Son of God!” Of all the various responses to Jesus ☧ in Mark 15, it seems only the centaurion has the right reaction. Pilate is dumbfounded. The crowd has no pity. The soldiers and passersby mock. The women stand at a distance. The centaurion however focuses on “this way he breathed his last.” Mark leaves out the dialogs to focus our eyes on the Cross, which shows us how Jesus is Messiah unlike anyone else, releasing us from death and bringing the age of God’s kingdom.
