Second Adam (Mark 15)

Mark 15 : 1 - 5

Our Lord is bound and sent before Pilate by the religious leaders.
Pilate marvelled at Him, only one question He answered, yes I am as they say
The King of the Jews. Why did He not get into debate with them? 
Acceptance that no matter what He answered He knew they just wanted to kill Him. 
He also knew that He needed to die to fulfill what He came for. 
They as well were acting as they should so that He could ransom all mankind.

Mark 15 : 6 - 47

Our Lord is substituted for a known criminal, mocked, beaten, spit on, crucified, and buried.

Envy, jealousy,  fear, pride,  arrogance the list goes on as to why the religious leaders
decide to kill our Lord and stirred the crowds to fulfill their desire.
At the root is wanting to be regarded like God or as God. 
Our Lord revealed their ignorance, spite, and pride and they stirred the people to keep their positions.

Notice how it is exactly the same reason satan is a fallen angel. 
In Genesis, "if you eat of the fruit you will know as much as God does, and you will be like Him".

Is it not fitting that our Saviour, the second Adam, died to reconcile us under the same root sin that
separated us in the first place from our Father.
