A single chapter can change how you see the whole story. We take you into Mark 14—where a costly perfume breaks open, a table is set for a new covenant, and a prayer in a dark garden reveals what perfect obedience looks like. The night is crowded with contrasts: a woman’s bold devotion against Judas’ quiet deal, a chorus of false witnesses against Jesus’ steady silence, and Peter’s denials against the promise that forgiveness is already being poured out.

We start with the plot and the perfume, showing why Jesus calls her act “beautiful” and how true worship never steals from compassion. Then we move to the Passover where bread and cup become a living promise of grace. The Lord’s Supper is more than remembrance; it is the covenant sign that sin is met and mercy wins. In Gethsemane, Jesus prays for the cup to pass and then submits to the Father’s will, carrying both the weight of wrath and the joy set before him.

As the trial unfolds, we unpack how Jesus’ claim to be the Son of Man echoes Daniel 7, why that confession matters, and what it means for hope beyond the cross. Along the way we tackle hard questions: Why did Judas betray? How does God’s sovereignty hold with human responsibility? What does the young man fleeing naked tell us about fear and the instinct to escape? Finally, we draw out practical applications—refusing small compromises, staying awake in prayer, receiving the Lord’s Supper as a promise, and choosing the kind of devotion that outlasts the jar it came in.
