The Great Exchange
Speaker: Jay Pound Series: The Unrecognized King Scripture: Mark 15:1–15
Why did Jesus think this was the path to victory?
The Jewish leaders think they have manipulated Pilate and the crowds to remove a rival - and maybe a false teacher/Messiah (15.1-5, 11)
Pilate believes he has deftly wielded Roman power to keep the peace between Jewish factions (15.6-10)
Those in the crowd before Pilate believed that they had imposed their will on Rome (15.12-15)
But in truth - Jesus was fulfilling the promise of God through the prophet Isaiah (Is. 53)
2 Lessons:
- Jesus is the lamb of God who takes away the sins of the world
- God is sovereign even in the midst of bleak circumstances
