Mark 15:1-25
Jesus Before Pilate
15 Very early in the morning, the chief priests, with the elders, the teachers of the law and the whole Sanhedrin, made their plans. So they bound Jesus, led him away and handed him over to Pilate.
2 “Are you the king of the Jews?” asked Pilate.
“You have said so,” Jesus replied.
3 The chief priests accused him of many things. 4 So again Pilate asked him, “Aren’t you going to answer? See how many things they are accusing you of.”
5 But Jesus still made no reply, and Pilate was amazed.
6 Now it was the custom at the festival to release a prisoner whom the people requested. 7 A man called Barabbas was in prison with the insurrectionists who had committed murder in the uprising. 8 The crowd came up and asked Pilate to do for them what he usually did.
9 “Do you want me to release to you the king of the Jews?” asked Pilate, 10 knowing it was out of self-interest that the chief priests had handed Jesus over to him. 11 But the chief priests stirred up the crowd to have Pilate release Barabbas instead.
12 “What shall I do, then, with the one you call the king of the Jews?” Pilate asked them.
13 “Crucify him!” they shouted.
14 “Why? What crime has he committed?” asked Pilate.
But they shouted all the louder, “Crucify him!”
15 Wanting to satisfy the crowd, Pilate released Barabbas to them. He had Jesus flogged, and handed him over to be crucified.
The Soldiers Mock Jesus
16 The soldiers led Jesus away into the palace (that is, the Praetorium) and called together the whole company of soldiers. 17 They put a purple robe on him, then twisted together a crown of thorns and set it on him. 18 And they began to call out to him, “Hail, king of the Jews!” 19 Again and again they struck him on the head with a staff and spit on him. Falling on their knees, they paid homage to him. 20 And when they had mocked him, they took off the purple robe and put his own clothes on him. Then they led him out to crucify him.
The Crucifixion of Jesus
21 A certain man from Cyrene, Simon, the father of Alexander and Rufus, was passing by on his way in from the country, and they forced him to carry the cross. 22 They brought Jesus to the place called Golgotha (which means “the place of the skull”). 23 Then they offered him wine mixed with myrrh, but he did not take it. 24 And they crucified him. Dividing up his clothes, they cast lots to see what each would get.
25 It was nine in the morning when they crucified him.

March 17th Christ as our righteousness
“But of Him you are in Christ Jesus, who became to us wisdom from God — that is, righteousness and sanctification and redemption.” 1 CORINTHIANS 1:30
Through God’s demonstrated righteousness on the cross, Christ becomes our imputed righteousness to transfer us out of the source of ourself to live to God. It is enlightening to see the distinction between God’s righteousness and Christ being our righteousness. Although they are distinct, they are interrelated. First, God’s righteousness is related to God’s method, or procedure, in doing things . Indeed, it was through God’s righteousness demonstrated at the cross that He could officially constitute us righteous. The cross was God’s righteousness at work, making it possible for God to freely bestow upon us the gift of righteousness (Rom. 5:17). Second, the gift of righteousness is Christ Himself as our righteous- ness (1 Cor. 1:30). This gift gives us the same standing and relation- ship with God that Christ has, because this gift is Christ Himself. With God’s righteousness, we are justified according to God’s way of doing things. With Christ as our righteousness, we are clothed with Christ as our robe as we stand before God (Isa. 61:9- 10). Paul wanted to be found having Christ as his righteousness in order that he could know the Lord in a deeper way (Phil. 3:9-10). God’s righteousness is what establishes our relationship with God (Rom. 3:21-26). Christ being our righteousness is what keeps our relationship with God on the proper basis. Our relationship with God is apart from any merit of our own and outside any reflection upon our own subjective condition. Christ as our righteousness becomes the solid foundation for us to live to God exclusively in Christ (Gal. 2:19-21; Rom. 6:11). In this way God becomes the source of our life.
