Bible Text: Mark 15:20-41 | Preacher: Keith Zehr | Series: Year D | With only 44 days to go, are you ready for Christmas?  Christmas would be just another family gathering if the one we celebrate at Christmas–Jesus–did not live a radically different life and give himself for the world on the cross.  Before the wonder of Jesus entering into the world, we remember the purpose that Jesus fulfilled while he was here.
