Mark the author sections the chapter into sections and into topics, in which he recounts a moment between Jesus and the woman with the Alabaster Box...
Mark 14
CHAPTER OUTLINE
OVERVIEW
Jesus Arrested
Judas betrays Jesus. Everyone flees, Jesus is arrested,
Now Jesus is facing his enemies.
Before the High official – Sanhedrin alongside with chief priests & teachers of the law ( religious folks)
Mark 14 foreshadows this moment, you will stand on trial before the officials on account of me. But when you are put on trial do not worry about what you’re going to say. ( Mark 13 :9 & 11 )
You can read the entire Chapter, or come along on the journey with me, to listen to my Podcast on Mark 13 & 14
Put on Trial ( My Testimony)
I was put on what felt like a TRIAL, A QUESTIONING of some sort. Right before I was getting baptised into a new religion, the pastor asked everyone if we had any questions.
- I had a question… a very important one
a choice to flee, or Rise
I chose boldness, holy spirit spoke on my behalf. I didn’t see a person, or a pastor at that moment, I was dealing with spirits, principalities and powers beyond what this world could see & understand.
” As belivers we will be put on trials, we will be tested, we will encounter temptations, and some of us will stand before governors. We are not to worry about what we’re going to say or how were going to defend ourselves. The Holy Spirit will work on our behalf.” – Gospel of Mark 14
Snippet from my upcoming book
“ TRIALS WILL PROVE THAT YOUR FAITH IS GENUINE. It is being tested and tried through difficult situations and circumstances that your faith develops into something strong and powerful. Anyone can say they have faith until they are put to the test and tried by fire. As fire tests and purifies gold, so do trials reveal the condition of our faith, our heart, the genuiness of our fruit, and challenge us to become better.
“ These have come so that the proven genuineness of your faith, of greater worth than gold, which perishes even though refined by fire, may result in praise, glory and honor when Jesus Christ is revealed.” (1 Peter 1:7)
The moment that changed the entire course of my spiritual journey! The moment that woke me up and opened my eyes to see beyond religion, and what I understood about faith. I was about to be baptized into a religion that I barely knew, and was about to embark on the journey of the unknown. Before God could trust me with a book, i had to be faithful with my assignment.
The chief priests and teachers of the law as well as the HIGH OFFICIAL ( Sanhedrin) were looking for evidence to unalive Jesus, but did not find any.
He stood silent like a lamb, ( Isaiah 53:7) as the sheep is silent before its shearers. He did not open his month
Moral lesson here?
When you are put on the trial, accused, tried, stand silent, and allow God to defend you. Don’t reason with others, don’t try to explain yourself,
They’ve already made up their mind about you!

Mark 13
Denial of Jesus
“PETER the closest disciple of Jesus denies JESUS “ – Gospel of Mark 14
Peter observed the situation at a distance, because of FEAR.
Fear keeps us stagnant in place, it keeps us at a distance with God. It cripples our walk and our identity suffers.
God has not given us a spirit of fear, but power to overcome all those difficulties. 2 Timothy 1:7
There is no fear in Love. Perfect Love of GOD casts out fear. 1 John 4:18
Going back to the trial,
Many of those religious had evidence but none of that evidence worked against the Savior.
Finally they had ONE account. They needed evidence. Walk in the way of Love, just as Christ giving himself up for humankind. Eph 5:2-4
Are you the Mesiah ?
I am
He does not lie, nor is he a man to change his mind.
One account of supposed Blasphemy – an act of offense
Now comes the humiliation
- They beat him, spit on him, blindfolded him, struck him with fists, and beat him some more. Jesus took on the beating, and the humiliation for the world.
But he was bruised, for our iniquities. Isaiah 53:5
“ But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed.”
Denial of Jesus
You were one of the disciples, I saw you… evidence
But he denied it, just as Jesus had said it,
VS 30 – Truly I tell you you will disown me.
Then he remembered, and wept
in other words, peter recognized what Jesus said about this moment, and he wept with sorow, repenting for all that he has done.

Pray and Apply
Read 2 Corinthians 12:7-10. Reflect on what it means to find strength in Christ. Where do you need strength in your faith at the moment? Are you relying on your own abilities without trusting in the power of the Holy Spirit to strengthen you? Spend a few minutes in prayer, acknowledging weak areas in your life and asking God for the strength you need to do His will.
Your Story is important to someone else. The details of your testimony are life to someone else. I couldn’t have spoken into strangers life, if I myself did not go through the battles. I can only speak because I know the pain, the hurt, and confusion. I pray God comforts us, and gives us the grace to tell our story, no matter how small the details are.
Let’s not hesitate to share our testimonies and help each other walk through the valleys, and reach our destinations together. With a sense of fulfillment, and helping others get there can be a rewarding and satisfying experience, because when we lift each other up, we don’t just reach our destinations, we thrive in them.
I’d love to share your Story on my SITE!
