TWO STORIES IN ONE

Mark 15:22-39

The Cross spells out two stories: one in black, ugly pot-black, the story of sin. Sin carpentered the cross, and wove the thorns, and drove the nails: our sin. And a story, too, in red, bright-flowing red, the story of love, his love, that yielded to cross and nails and shame for us. And only the passion of his love burning within will make us hate sin, as only his blood can wash it out.
