UNIT OUTLINE Old words for an old story (Easter in Mark's gospel)

LESSON 1 Old words for an old story Mark 15.1-20 + Isaiah 53.1-4

Throughout his gospel, Mark shows his readers that Jesus is not the Promised King the Jewish people were expecting. He will not be a triumphant king who comes to beat the Romans. He will not be the one who gets the Promised Land for Israel once again. Mark shows us that Jesus is the Promised King who suffers.

LESSON 2 Old words for an old story Mark 15.21-47 + Isaiah 53.4-9

On Good Friday, we celebrate and remember the death of Jesus. We remember Jesus’ death because he took the punishment we deserved for our sins. Jesus’ death brought us peace with God, undoing the brokenness caused by our sin.

LESSON 3 Old words for an old story Mark 16.1-8 + Isaiah 53.10-12

He is risen! In the gospel of Mark, the angel tells the good news to the women who have come to care for Jesus in his death. And the good news of Jesus’ resurrection continues to be told. On Easter Sunday, we celebrate this good news—that Jesus suffered and died on a cross and rose again on the third day. He did this so that his people could have new life.
