3 April 2026 | Good Friday Reflections | Mark 15:1-47

About this episode

Darren Western reflects on Mark 15 during Good Friday, exploring themes of suffering and grace in Jesus' death.

On Good Friday, Darren Western reflects on Mark 15 by tracing four themes in Jesus’ death: Darkness, Abandonment, Access, and Response. He invites the church to dwell at the cross and consider both the depth of Christ’s suffering and the grace flowing from His death: Forgiveness, Belonging, and Access to God for those who believe. With the temple curtain torn and the centurion confessing, “Truly, this man was the Son of God,” the reflection presses toward one central question: What will we do with what Jesus has done?
