Mark Study 21

Dear Student of the Word,

I apologize for the delay since sending my last update. First, my computer went down. Then I had two weeks of classes for my Doctor of Ministry degree, and classes ran from 8 AM to 5 PM.

This week, we look at Jesus' betrayal and the start of the events leading to His crucifixion. These verses are always hard and unpleasant reading for me, yet they are the crowning verses of the gospel -- Jesus died on the cross for you and me!

This week I wrote

14:55 -- Of course there was no evidence against Jesus, for He had done and still has not done anything wrong. He is the sinless Son of God. Many have tried to find fault with Him, including this writer. There were times when I examined God and thought He was wrong or hand mishandled me or some other situation. What arrogance on my part to examine and question God! Yet that did not stop me, any more than it stopped those who examined Jesus in these verses.

There were also times when I felt I was more righteous than God, just as these elders and leaders did. I thought I had done what God wanted and He was not holding up His end of the bargain -- and of course that bargain was something that would benefit me or make me feel good.
