Mark 15:39 – 47 By Paul Lamey

Al Mohler: “The tomb represents the extent of God’s love and the cost of our sin. The burial of the Son of God displays the paradoxical unity of the full horror of human sin and the illustrious, cosmic, infinite, and scandalous love of God for us in Christ.”
Con oncl clus usion: ion: J.C. Ryle: “The great matter that concerns us all, is to make sure that we are spiritually buried with Christ, while we are yet alive. We must be joined to Him by faith, and conformed to His image. With Him we must die to sin, and be buried by baptism into His death. With Him we must rise again and be quickened by His Spirit. Except we know these things, Christ’s death and burial will profit us nothing at all.”
