The Death of God Pt. 1
Today, we delve into Mark 14 and reflect on God’s magnificent creation and His plan for humanity. God created everything—the ocean, plants, animals, sun, moon, and stars—and placed Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden to walk with Him forever. However, their disobedience brought sin and death into the world. Despite this, God’s love for us remained steadfast, leading Him to send His only son, Jesus, to live among us, perfectly fulfill God’s law, and ultimately carry a cross to Calvary to restore what was broken.
As we journey through the Gospel of Mark, we witness Jesus’ arrest, trial, and crucifixion, understanding the immense sacrifice He made for our salvation. Jesus calls us to deny ourselves, take up our cross, and follow Him, just as He obeyed the Father’s will unto death. Empowered by the Holy Spirit, we are equipped to stand with Christ, live out His mission, and boldly proclaim the Gospel. Today, I challenge you to commit to this calling, knowing that through Christ, we have the strength to overcome any fear and fulfill God’s purpose for our lives.
