Mark?s telling of Jesus?s trial and crucifixion removes a couple possible explanations. Jesus didn?t die because he was guilty: the trial of Jesus shows no one found any legitimate legal reason to kill him. And Jesus didn?t die because he was powerless: Mark?s readers know Jesus is innocent and has power to overcome his captors, but he doesn?t defend himself. So why then? Jesus died to establish a kingdom you could live in. Mark?s chief irony and his central message is that Jesus comes to power and invites us into his kingdom through his death.","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/u7wD99jaZ4P7jl6y4yNhXMq8JFmhqAB7d6euxv6cOAA/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS82OTEw/YjRlMmIyYzQwYmM0/NDM3M2E0NDRkYmU3/ZDU3ZS5qcGc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
