Like all the ones before, the Passover at the time of Jesus’ death was full of ritual and symbolism. This one, however, would change the meaning of those religious actions forever. Exploring Mark’s Gospel, Alistair Begg demonstrates the significance of that historic day’s supernatural and symbolic events. The religious rituals that once prevented us from clearly seeing and knowing God are now no longer needed. Instead, in carrying our sins on the cross, Christ has made a way for us to enter God’s presence forever.
