Title: Responding to Jesus (35)
Series: The Gospel of Mark-A Journey with Jesus
Author: Jim Perdue
Text: Mark 14:32-72
- We are studying the Gospel of Mark together on Sunday mornings in a
sermon series called, A Journey With Jesus. Today, we come to Mark 14:32-72. In these verses, we see different responses to Jesus. READ 32-34, 37-41, 43-46, 55-59, 66-72
- *We probably respond to certain things a thousand times a day. For most of us, it starts with the alarm clock. Now, some of y'all hit snooze once or twice-or five times.

That's true in our daily lives, and it's especially true in our spiritual lives. Because nothing is more important than how we respond to Jesus.*
- This passage represents a shift in the Gospel of Mark as Jesus moves toward the cross. He has been teaching, healing, and performing miracles. Now, the focus shifts from His public ministry to His suffering and sacrifice. This takes place on the night before the crucifixion, in the Garden of Gethsemane and the high priest's courtyard after His arrest.
- The weight of the cross is now pressing down on Jesus. His closest friends abandon Him, the religious leaders reject Him, and the path to Calvary is set. It's also a moment of decision for everyone involved. Some respond with fait ...
