Gethsemane <strong>and</strong> prayed he wouldn’t have to<br />

suffer the cross, he still submitted to his Father’s<br />

will <strong>and</strong> willingly went. What does this tell us<br />

about God’s heart for people, <strong>and</strong> how can you<br />

use this story to share his heart with those you<br />

know?<br />

CONSIDER THIS<br />

<strong>Mark</strong> began his gospel saying it was wonderful news about<br />

Jesus. Now we know why: the Son of God died the death we<br />

should have died, in our place! Consider this sacrifice that<br />

brought you freedom <strong>and</strong> forgiveness, rescue <strong>and</strong> restoration.<br />

Spend time thanking Jesus for the punishment he bore during<br />

this climax of darkness to give you peace with God.
