Mark.15:16-41 provides a vivid picture of the persecution Christ suffered at the hands of the religious leaders, and the judgement He endured by the righteous hand of God the Father for redemption. Witness Lee unfolds two aspects of Christ’s death on the cross that are often neglected, as well as the significance of the veil of the temple being torn from top to bottom at the moment of His death.
