The Light Enters the Darkness - The Gospel According to Mark: Following Jesus (Ch 15:33-47)

John speaks of the incarnation of God's Son, coming into the world as the light shining in the darkness (John 1:5).  Centuries before, Isaiah prophesied that the light of God's glory would penetrate the dark effects of sin that overshadows the world and man's heart (Isaiah 1-20).  Jesus came as the light of God's glory to dispel the darkness of sin, but in order to do so he would have to enter that darkness himself in his death on the cross.  Today we consider the darkness Jesus endured that the light of life might shine in our hearts for eternity.
