This video is the second in a two-part series looking at the Crucifixion (Mark 15:16-39) through a first-century Roman Triumph lens.
The picture that Mark is painting - if we have eyes to see - is that Jesus is the king and true Son of God. The crucifixion is the coronation of a king! We can contrast the Roman Via Sacra - the Sacred Way - with the Via Dolorosa - the Way of Suffering. Jesus shows us the path to becoming king is through humility and submitting oneself to the will of God.

In this week's lesson, we begin an exploration of the details and sequence of the crucifixion as presented in Mark - chapter 15.
Each of the Gospel writers presents the narrative with slight differences. Mark's description of the procession to the cross is tightly worded with specific details. The question we will be asking is, why? Why those details in that order? As we will see, the details in Mark 15 are extraordinarily similar to the details of the Roman Triumph - the procession that declares the power and victory of Rome. ​Assuming Mark wrote in Rome - in the '60s - what would his first audience have thought?

Sea of Galilee (pt. 17 of 21)Jesus Message of the Power of ForgivenessThis week we complete our lesson on the Zealot movement and the impact it had on first-century Israel. By 66 AD, the Zealots had pushed the nation into an all-out war with Rome. The result of that war was that in 70 AD, Jerusalem and God's temple were destroyed. Why was it that the second temple was destroyed? Join us as we explore the reason provided by the Rabbis and how that compares to Jesus' overall message of forgiveness.
