Religion & Spirituality
Jesus is tortured and crucified. But the believer who has a heavenly perspective sees behind the picture a king. Not just any king, but the one who rules all the others.--Mark's gospel account presents these incredible contrasts, and none is more stark than the King of glory, the Creator of the world, hanging as a bloodied mess on a tree, the crowds insulting him.--But this was his mission-to die as a substitute for others. And having risen from the dead, he now rules the world, gathering in his people and mediating between them and God.
