The Kingdom Collision That Happened In Mark 15 | #86

About this episode

The episode discusses the events of Mark 15, focusing on the themes of envy, people-pleasing, and the nature of the Kingdom of God as demonstrated through Jesus' trial and crucifixion.

In Mark 15:1–20, Jesus stands before Pilate, accused, mocked, and handed over. Pilate knows what’s happening, but still caves because he wishes to satisfy the crowd. In this episode, Zach, Jill, and Brandon discuss Barabbas going free, Jesus being mocked, and how envy and people-pleasing build rival kingdoms that always end in death. Mark 15 is a chasm where the “kingdom collision” becomes unavoidable, and how it's a picture of how the Kingdom wins: not through force, but through cruciform love.
