The Cross and the Crown - Week 2

Week 2 – 3/16                   

Title: “Betrayed and Broken”            

Text: Mark 14:10-31

Big Idea: Jesus, though betrayed by His own, willingly walks the path of suffering for our redemption. Jesus is the ultimate Passover, by His blood spread on the doorposts of our lives, we can be reunited with God the Father.

Key Takeaways

1.      Betrayal Can Come from the Closest People – Judas walked with Jesus for three years but still turned against Him (proximity alone doesn’t indicate commitment).

2.      Jesus Knows the Future and Is in Control – He predicted His betrayal, death, and resurrection.

3.      True Worship Remembers Christ’s Sacrifice – The Lord’s Supper calls us to remember Jesus’ death until He returns.

4.      Overconfidence Leads to Failure – Peter thought he was stronger than he was, but fear overtook him.
