He Went Before You | Mark 14:12-16 | Derek Harm

In this Easter message from Redemption Life Fellowship, we trace Mark 14:12–16:8 under the title “He Went Before You,” following Jesus from the Passover table to Gethsemane, through His unjust trial and crucifixion, and finally to the empty tomb. The sermon highlights how Jesus declares Himself the true Passover Lamb, embraces the cup of God’s wrath in our place, endures twisted justice and abandonment at the cross, and then rises in victory as the temple curtain is torn and access to God is opened. At the heart of the resurrection account is the announcement that the risen Christ is “going before” His fearful, failing disciples into Galilee, showing that because He has gone all the way into death and out the other side, He now goes before us into life and calls us to repent, believe, and follow Him rather than stay where we are.
