Mark 14-16, Psalm 22

Published: Feb. 1, 2023, 5:05 a.m.

We\u2019re covering the last three chapters of Mark today, which includes Mark\u2019s account of the crucifixion of Jesus. In our text, Jesus institutes the Lord\u2019s Supper, Judas betrays the Lord, Peter denies any relationship with Jesus, the chief priests and scribes hold court and convict Jesus of blasphemy, and send him to Pilate to be crucified. You\u2019ll notice that Jesus references Psalm 22 before he breathes his last, signifying not only his agony, but the fulfillment of that particular psalm, which we will read soon thereafter. When he dies, the curtain of the temple is miraculously torn in two, signifying the atoning work of the crucified Christ allowing unrestricted access to God the Father for those who trust in Him.
