Last Words: Part 1

August 5, 2024

Book: Mark

This sermon delves into the final 24 hours of Jesus’ life as recorded in Mark 14. This is a somber yet joyous occasion because it marks the moment when Jesus willingly endured humiliation and betrayal to redeem humanity. We begin by reflecting on the Last Supper, where Jesus instituted a new covenant, signifying that He would be the ultimate sacrifice for our sins.

This event sets the stage for the heavy moments that follow, including Jesus’ prediction that all His disciples would fall away.
