前言:历史上人性最黑暗的一天!
人世间最恶的罪人把宇宙间最爱人的主钉死在十字架上!
一、人生的答问—在乎基督(可15:1-5)
人生难免遇见刁难之人的提问,答与不答很在乎提问者的动机!对于不信者,说了不但没用,而且还会因为实话实说而遭殃。人生一切问题的答案全在乎基督;认基督为王,让基督作王,就是人生最大的保障,否则对于不信者,说得再多也没用!
当人生遇到一些很为难的事,例如有人污辱你、恶言攻击你,多方试探你,专找你说话中的把柄或破绽,有些话是不必解释的,主知道就够了,我们的一生全在乎基督。
二、是非的颠倒—嫉妒基督(可15:6-15)
重大节期有特赦令给一个囚犯,当时有作乱杀人犯巴拉巴,和这位行使了许多医病赶鬼神迹的拉比耶稣,要在其中二选一作为释放对象。你如果是审判官彼拉多,你会释放谁呢?彼拉多明知耶稣无罪,只因祭司长嫉妒耶稣,最后宁愿处死义人,释放罪人,颠倒是非,只因要讨众人的喜悦。
他们都不知道眼前这位基督就将来要定他们的生死的基督,人的无知何等可悲不是吗?
三、真欺神太甚—羞辱基督(可15:16-20)
古人说:“士可杀不可辱”!意思说,被羞辱的难受比被杀死还更可怕。宇宙的创造主为了要背负人的罪,祂不惜肉身成为人。明明是万王之王却被人百般凌辱,折腾至死。耶稣如果是人,我要说兵丁们真是“欺人太甚”;但是耶稣是神,他们简直是“欺神太甚”,所以人将面对什么后果呢?
世人的罪恶重大,藐视基督羞辱基督的人带来毁灭性的灾难。圣经形容末世灾难包括刀剑、饥荒、瘟疫,这不正是目前的写照吗?
四、主任人摆布—虚己基督(可21-32)
从背十架、走苦路、被拈阄衣服、被钉十架、被戏弄,主都沉默不语。只因为要当担所有罪人的一切罪行。这是十架的爱、无限的爱、真神之爱。
我们若明白这样的爱,还有什么伤是不能痊愈的吗?有什么恨是不能饶恕的吗?有什么怨是不能放下的吗?主任人摆布,谦卑虚己,我们若有如此恩膏,生命将大不相同。
五、把罪钉死了—担罪基督(可15:33-41)
主耶稣是三位一体神,父神与祂同在,圣灵在祂里面,本来是永不分离的。无奈耶稣背负了世人的罪,历史人类的罪,祂不得不面对神要离开祂,因为圣洁的神岂能容许罪在身上呢?于是神离开了耶稣!让主独自担当了我们的罪。
六、等候神的国—完成基督(可11:42-47)
这里提到一位尊贵的议员,因为敬畏神而等候神的国降临,于是以自己的身份之便,得到了耶稣的遗体,好安排安葬的后事。这是人所能作的最好安排与行动。结果就完全了神的一切作为。
总结:基督成就了福音
基督所遭遇的一切,成为我们最大的福音(好消息);也让我们都在基督里得完全!如今我们也要成为福音的代言人,神国的见证人,成就神所颁布的使命。
Mark 15: Christ who died instead

Speaker: Rev David Tan
Introduction: The darkest day in human history!
The worst sinner in the world nailed the most beloved Lord in the universe to the cross!
1. The question of life—depends on Christ (Mark 15:1-5)
In life, it is inevitable to encounter questions from people who make things difficult. Answering or not answering depends on the motive of the questioner! For unbelievers, answering is not only useless, but will also suffer for telling the truth. The answer to all questions in life depends entirely on Christ; to recognize Christ as the King and to let Christ be the King is the greatest assurance in life, otherwise, it would be useless to say more to the unbelievers!
When you encounter difficult things in life, such as someone insulting you, attacking you with malicious words, tempting you in many ways, looking for a fault or flaw in your words, some comments do not need to be explained, as long as the Lord knows is sufficient, our life it's all about Christ.
2. The reversal of right and wrong—jealousy of Christ (Mark 15:6-15)
During major festivals, there is a tradition to release one prisoner. At that time there was a murderer Barabbas, and the rabbi Jesus, who performed many miracles in healing the sick and casting out demons, and there is a need to choose one of the two to be released. If you were the judge Pilate, who would you release? Pilate knew that Jesus was innocent, but because the chief priests were jealous of Jesus, he finally preferred to execute the righteous and set the sinners free.
They didn't even know the Christ in front of them is going to be the one who will decide their life and death in the future. How sad is the ignorance of people, isn't it?
3. Bully God too much —humiliated Christ (Mark 15:16-20)
The ancients said: "Rather to be killed but not humiliated"! It means that the pain of being humiliated is worse than being killed. In order to bear the sins of man, the Creator of the universe did not hesitate to become a man in the flesh. Even though he is the King of kings, he was humiliated and tortured to death. If Jesus were a man, I would say that the soldiers really "bully people too much"; but Jesus is God, and they simply "bully God too much", so what will be the consequences for people?
The sins of the world are great, and those who despise Christ and dishonor him bring devastating disasters. The Bible describes the disasters of the last days as including wars, famines, and plagues. Isn't this what happening at the present?
4. God got manipulated by man- Christ emptied pride (Mark 21-32)
From bearing the cross, walking the road of suffering, being cast by lots, being nailed to the cross, and being mocked, the Lord remained silent. Just to bear all the sins of all sinners. This is the love of the cross, the love of the infinite, the love of the true God.
If we understand such love, is there any wound that cannot be healed? Is there any hate that cannot be forgiven? Is there any grudge you can't let go of? God got manipulated by man, being humble and emptied pride, if we had such an anointing, our lives would be very different.
5. Crucified sins—Christ who bears sins (Mark 15:33-41)
The Lord Jesus is a triune God, God the Father is with Him, and the Holy Spirit is in Him, and they are inseparable. But Jesus had no choice but to bear the sins of the world, the sins of the human race in history, and He had to face God who leave Him, because how could a holy God allow sin to be in him? So God left Jesus! Let the Lord alone bear our sins.
6. Waiting on the Kingdom of God—Completing Christ (Mark 11:42-47)
Here is a prominent council member who feared God and waited for the kingdom of God to come, so he obtained the body of Jesus in his own capacity so that he could arrange the funeral. This is the best arrangement and action a man can make. The result is the perfection of all the works of God.
Conclusion: Christ Fulfils the Gospel
Everything that happened to Christ becomes our greatest gospel (good news); also make us all perfect in Christ! Now we also have to become the spokespersons of the gospel, the witnesses of the kingdom of God, and fulfil the mission enunciated by God.
