Mark 15:1-15
These verses begin the chapter in which Mark describes the slaying of “the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world.” It is a part of the Gospel history which should always be read with peculiar reverence. We should call to mind, that Christ was cut off, not for Himself, but for us. (Dan. 9:26) We should remember that His death is the life of our souls, and that unless His blood had been shed, we must have perished miserably in our sins.
