Not My Will, But Yours
Jesus enters the garden of Gethsemane knowing the suffering that awaits him. In Mark 14:32–52, we see the contrast between the disciples’ weakness and Jesus’ perfect obedience as he surrenders his will to the Father. His “yes” to the Father becomes our hope and salvation.

In Mark 14:12–31, Jesus reveals that the cross is not a tragedy outside God’s control, but the sovereign fulfillment of his saving plan. As Jesus establishes the Lord’s Supper and foretells the disciples’ failure, we see our weakness contrasted with the faithfulness of our strong Savior.

In Mark 14:1–11, we see a striking contrast between betrayal and devotion. Judas was close to Jesus, yet betrayed him, while an unnamed woman poured out a costly and extravagant gift in worship. What makes her devotion so beautiful? She understood that Jesus was going to the cross to die for her. Her costly gift was a response to his even greater gift of himself. We live for him because he died for us.

> The Gospel of Mark
In Jesus, God raises you from the paralysis of sin and death, not only for your comfort, but also so the power and grace of God could be displayed in your life.
> watchBefore you were converted, God gave you gifts. He created you intentionally. He knit you together in your mother’s womb. But sometimes we take those gifts and point them in the wrong direction. Repent and redirect your gifts towards God’s glory and the good of His church.
> watchJesus comes to us in love even and especially when we don’t deserve it. God, in Jesus, has paid the price for every past sin and for every sin that you will ever commit, from now to glory.
> watchThere is no one beyond the scope of God’s redemptive purposes in Jesus. Every penitent sinner is welcomed into the household of God.
> watchYou might be a sincere and kind person, motivated by the best of intentions, but unless you are living under the lordship of Jesus, you are opposing God.
> watchNothing is beyond the redemptive scope of God’s goodness. He can take the apparent unmitigated loss of Stephen being stoned to death and use it to bring about the conversion of St. Paul.
> watchThe church must be adaptive in its means, but unshakable in its ends. Don’t ever compromise on the main thing – the preaching of Jesus Christ through the word of God.
> watchAnyone, anywhere can be forgiven and saved, not because of who you are, but because of who Jesus is.
> watchDon’t bow down to the altar of worldly wealth. Instead, overflow with hearts of generosity and fully trust in the Lord Jesus Christ.
> watchWe can rejoice with boldness in the face of persecution, because even hardship serves a purpose under the loving, sovereign hand of God.
> watchIn the lame beggar we see a picture of our spiritual state before Christ. We are poor, needy and without hope in ourselves, but we have a Saviour who reaches down and raises us up.
> watchChristian devotion, as described in the early church, looks like dedication to apostolic teaching, fellowship, the breaking of bread together, and prayer.
