We read Mark 14 and watch Jesus move through betrayal, prayer, and trial with clear purpose rather than panic. We end with a blunt question for our own discipleship: are we all in, and where do we lean on our own strength instead of prayer.
• Mark slows down to spotlight Jesus’ final week and his intentional mission
• religious leaders seeking a stealthy way to arrest and kill Jesus
• the woman in Bethany breaking the alabaster jar as all-in devotion
• Judas choosing betrayal and looking for the right opportunity
• Passover background and Jesus as the true Passover lamb
• the Last Supper as covenant language about Jesus’ body and blood
• Jesus warning the disciples about falling away and Peter’s coming denial
• Gethsemane as honest prayer, submission, and the fight to stay alert
• the arrest and the disciples fleeing when fear takes over
• the Sanhedrin trial, false witnesses, and Jesus’ direct confession
• Peter’s three denials and the moment he remembers and weeps
• prayer as the way we are strengthened against temptation
