March 2, 2013 - Mark 14

 

 

Some scholars believe that the Lord's Last Supper may have been eaten at the home of John Mark's parents.  Mark would have been just a teenager or young man at the time;  perhaps he even waited on Jesus and the disciples during the meal.  Having witnessed those events, he may have followed them to the garden where he saw Jesus arrested and was the young man in the linen cloth (verse 51).

 

 

14:1-9    How do you think this woman felt about Jesus?   Do you think she, perhaps, understood where Jesus was headed?  If you could, how might you show your feelings of gratitude toward Jesus?

 

 

14:17-26  The Last Supper was the celebration of the Passover commemorating the time when the angel of the Lord passed over the homes of the Hebrews rather than killing their firstborn sons, as the angel did in the Egyptian homes (see Exodus 12:1-14).  How does Jesus change this meal to create a new relationship between God and Jesus' disciples/   When you receive the Lord's Supper in worship, what emotions do you experience?

 

 

14:32-72   Have you ever failed Christ, like Peter did?  What emotions did you expeirence!  How did you experience forgiveness and strength?

  

 

When have you had to wrestle between your will and God's will?  How did that experience affect your relationship with God?  What did you learn about yourself?
