In Our Place Condemned He Stood

Book: Mark

Scripture: Mark 14:43-65

Picture the people around Jesus on the night he was arrested. A friend betrayed him with a kiss, one follower swung a sword, another ran off naked into the dark, and the religious leaders put him on trial with lies. It’s easy to think, “I wouldn’t have done that.” But the truth is we have done such things. What is more, the one arrested will be unjustly condemned on our account.
