Welcome to Timeless Truth with Pastor Jim Thomas. In season 2, Pastor Jim is leading us in a study of Mark. Today’s passage is Mark 14:32-52
- The Agony of Gethsemane (14:32-42)
- The Betrayal and Arrest (14:43-52)
“This brief insight into the intimate prayer life of Jesus shines a light not only on the cost of our redemption, but also on the nature of Jesus as God and man. The two are seen as one in this crucial moment for the redemption that will be offered to all.”
Donald English, The Message of Mark
“While the biblical concept of sin has many aspects that could rightly be described as forensic or legal (such as the ideas of “missing the mark” or “falling short of what is required”), the idea of the betrayal of a personal relationship is fundamental to a biblical understanding of sin. Sin is about failing to trust God, challenging his authority, or failing to take his promises seriously.”
Alister McGrath, Justification by Faith
“God relentlessly offers his grace to people who do not deserve it, nor seek it, nor even appreciate it after they have been saved by it.”
Tim Keller
