S3E32: The Crucifixion (24 Hours that Changed the World pt. 7)

Sermon #160

We are still in the midst of our Lenten series, based on Adam Hamilton's book 24 Hours that Changed the World.  On this Palm Sunday, we find Jesus on the cross, which was literally the darkest moment in Christian history.  The disciples were scattered, their Master was dead and laid in a tomb.  Certainly this would be the end of all that Messiah nonsense, or so the religious leaders thought.  Today we know that the crucifixion was not the end, but the beginning.  But the first followers of Christ thought that it signalled the end of their movement and worse, potentially the end of their own lives. 

Mark 15:25-39
