Introduction/Overview of teaching

2:50 - 15:59

Mark 14:1-11 starts out identifying the foundation of Christ's sacrifice explained in the Passover.

We read from Exodus 12 to get a good understanding of what the Passover and the Feast of unleavened bread is.

15:59 - 25:41

Once a clear impact of the work of Christ is accepted, I move to reflect on the breaking of the alabaster jar and the precious perfume being poured out. What a fantastic illustration of allowing our hopes and dreams to be broken for Christ and pouring out our deepest desires for life on Christ himself.

25:41 - 33:34

Following that example we quickly find ourselves in the midst of the greatest betrayal of all time. Judas may have expected Jesus to foil the pharisees as he made a little money. Betrayal is part of life that God allows to reach places in us that need to be touched if we are truely going to be conformed, molded, shaped into the image of Jesus. It is at the place of embracing your situation as Christ embraced his suffering and betrayal you will experience the release of God's power.
