In Anticipation of Jesus' Arrest and Coming Death


Notes for the Reading for Wednesday, March 23, 2016

Mark 14:1-2: The plan is coming to fruition.  The leaders have had enough and the final plan to arrest Jesus is underway.

Mark 14: 3-9: The preparations for Jesus’ death are made.  This passage has been used as ‘proof’ that Jesus did not care for the poor.  Consider instead what she is doing for Jesus instead.

Mark 14: 10-11: The only way they will get Jesus is by the ‘inside job’.



Exodus 13: 3-10: The people are forming into a nation, forged in the fires of the Exodus desert.  The Festival of Unleavened Bread shall be the backdrop against the arrest and execution of Jesus.

Exodus 13: 11-16: Consider the law of the first born, done in response to the deaths of the first born of the Egyptians as the last plague.  Jesus is a first born son not redeemed, but sacrificed, but for our redemption.
