Podcasts about Mark 14

This Lectio Divina meditation for Lent invites us to slow down and reflect on how it feels to be misunderstood. When have you felt misunderstood? Maybe your motives were misjudged or your actions criticized? I know that feeling well. And I wonder if that’s how the woman in Mark 14 felt as she poured out her costly perfume for Jesus—only to be met with harsh words and judgment. But Jesus saw her differently. He defended her. He honored her. And He spoke these powerful words: She did what she could. This week, in our Lectio Divina meditation, we’ll enter this moment with Jesus, slow down, and reflect on: Where am I tempted to judge someone else’s actions? Where am I holding back out of fear of how others might perceive me? What is one small thing I can do for God today? Through this passage, may we gain a fresh perspective—not just our own, but Jesus’s perspective. Join me as we slow down, listen, and receive what God has for us through His Word.

The Entire meditation text is: Mark 14:3-9, NET Now while Jesus was in Bethany at the house of Simon the leper, reclining at the table, a woman came with an alabaster jar of costly aromatic oil from pure nard. After breaking open the jar, she poured it on his head. But some who were present indignantly said to one another, “Why this waste of expensive ointment? It could have been sold for more than three hundred silver coins and the money given to the poor!” So they spoke angrily to her. But Jesus said, “Leave her alone. Why are you bothering her? She has done a good service for me. For you will always have the poor with you, and you can do good for them whenever you want. But you will not always have me! She did what she could. She anointed my body beforehand for burial. I tell you the truth, wherever the gospel is proclaimed in the whole world, what she has done will also be told in memory of her.” Discover more Christian podcasts at lifeaudio.com and inquire about advertising opportunities at lifeaudio.com/contact-us.

“The chief priests and the whole Sanhedrin were looking for evidence against Jesus so that they could put him to death, but they did not find any.” (Mark 14:55 NIV) The prosecution of Jesus offers a case study in injustice, hypocrisy, and evil. After He was arrested in the Garden of Gethsemane, Jesus was taken to the house of Annas, a former high priest. Annas interrogated Him briefly and then sent Him to the house of Caiaphas, the current high priest. Caiaphas had assembled the Sanhedrin, the ruling religious body in Israel, to hear testimony. He had hoped to include the testimonies of false witnesses who were willing to lie about Jesus, but none of them could get their stories straight. Instead, he used testimony from two men who said, “This man said, ‘I am able to destroy the Temple of God and rebuild it in three days’” (Matthew 26:61 NLT). The high priest demanded that Jesus tell them if He was the Messiah. “Jesus replied, ‘You have said it. And in the future you will see the Son of Man seated in the place of power at God’s right hand and coming on the clouds of heaven’” (verse 64 NLT). He gave His enemies all they needed to convict Him of blasphemy. It didn’t matter to them that He spoke the truth. “‘Guilty!’ they shouted. ‘He deserves to die!’” (verse 66 NLT). The Sanhedrin made its verdict official a short time later. But it didn’t have the authority to carry out the death sentence. Only Roman authorities could do that. So the Jewish leaders sent Jesus to the Roman governor, Pilate. Pilate could find no reason to execute Him. When he learned that Jesus had started His ministry in Galilee, Pilate sent Him to Herod, the ruler of Galilee, who happened to be in Jerusalem at that time. Herod asked a lot of questions, and then ridiculed and mocked Jesus, but could find no reason to pass judgment on Him. So he sent him back to Pilate. Meanwhile, the Jewish leaders had organized a mob to demand that Jesus be crucified. Pilate tried to explain that he could find no guilt in Jesus. He had Jesus flogged to try to satisfy the mob’s bloodlust. But it didn’t work. Through it all, Jesus used an unorthodox but highly effective legal strategy—effective, that is, if your aim is to be found guilty and put to death. He remained silent. Aside from a few sentences, He refused to engage His accusers or answer their charges, even though almost every part of His trial was illegal and unjust. In doing so, He fulfilled the prophecy of Isaiah 53:7: “He was oppressed and afflicted, yet he did not open his mouth; he was led like a lamb to the slaughter, and as a sheep before its shearers is silent, so he did not open his mouth” (NIV). In terms of human justice, Jesus’ trials were a farce. But He was interested in justice of another kind. Jesus did exactly what He needed to do to ensure that God’s justice was satisfied. Because of our sins, the only way for it to be satisfied was for an innocent person to endure God’s wrath. And He was the only innocent person. Jesus was still in complete control. He had outsmarted and outmaneuvered the religious leaders at every turn in His ministry. He could have shamed His accusers and exposed the hypocrisy of His judges. And that’s why He remained silent. He was forcing their hand. He was giving them no choice but to crucify Him. A key takeaway from this epic miscarriage of justice is that one day the Defendant will be the Judge. One day all of us will stand before the Lord to give an account of our lives. And our eternal fate will be determined by a single question: Who do you say He is? Reflection question: How can we respond to people who try to discredit Jesus?

Send me a Text Message!Years ago, when speaker of the house Sam Rayburn heard he had terminal cancer, he shocked everyone when he announced he was going back to his small town in Bonham, Texas. People said to him: "We've got the finest facilities here in D.C., why go back to that little town?" Rayburn's response came from his deep desire for community. He said, "Because in Bonham, Texas, they know if you're sick, and they care when you die." Perhaps some things are even more important than the finest medical facilities. If no one cares, you're truly alone. So who cares?In this episode we'll start where most good things start, with Jesus. Because the  more we get to know Jesus...the more our hearts get saturated with the undying reality that Jesus Cares. In fact, Jesus not only cares for us, he cares that we care.

In the Garden of Gethsemane we see the full humanity of Jesus as he is overwhelmed by sorrow, let down by friends, and betrayed. The good news is not only that Jesus identifies with your sorrow in his life, but that he willingly surrenders his life to end all sorrow and save the world.

Mark 14: 12-16

A conversation about the sermon from Mark 14.

Mark 14:1-26 - - Mar 23, 2014

Peter's denial in the midst of Jesus' trial invites us to turn our eyes off ourselves and look only to Jesus.

Today's passage shows us two of the most infamous betrayals in Scripture: Judas's and Peter's. And surrounding those betrayals are three very important trials. One is obvious. One is subtle. And the third we'll have to zoom out a bit.

Today we are in Mark 14, we look at how Jesus models the way to fight against the desires of our flesh and how to surrender fully to God.

Guest speaker, Pastor Chris Delmadge, shares a powerful message from the story of Jesus in the Garden of Gethsemane.

April 6, 2025 - A Disruptive Meal | Mark 14 by Trinity Hinsdale

14 l The Abused Shepherd-King l Mark 14:27-50 l 4-6-25

Sunday Morning

This message draws from Jesus's institution of His memorial supper from Mark 14:22-26. This sermon notes the extraordinary claims of Christ about the Lord's Supper and searches how the early church observed this communion under the apostles' oversight.

A Sermon Series in the Gospel of Mark

Jesus' silence and his confident affirmation of his identity before an unjust trial invites us to stand firm in the face of rejection.

Peter denied Jesus, his friend and Savior, three times. Afterward Jesus looked over at Peter, who then wept deeply. How did Jesus look at him? Was He disappointed? Angry? More likely, Jesus looked as He does at us today—with compassion. Despite our shortcomings, Christ is full of love for us. What a wonderful thought!

There's nothing worse than doing evil in the name of religion. But it was the high priest who stirred people into condemning Jesus to the cross! All across history we see hatred manifested in the works of religious people. This does not reflect or uplift the name of Jesus—it does the opposite! As Christians, we are called to love even the people who disagree with us.

This week, as we move into Week 4, we will be looking at passages from Mark 14:27-31 and Luke 22:54-62 where Jesus predicts Peter's denial followed by the playing out of that very denial. Together we discuss the importance of knowing who Jesus is. As we understand who Jesus is, within this passage and beyond, we come to realize the depth of Jesus' love for us even in the midst of our moments of betrayal.

The Trial of Jesus Part 1 | Mark 14:64 | 3-30-25 by Clear Water Church

Into the treachery of the plot to kill Jesus, Mark inserts a story about a woman who anoints Jesus. Her devotion and worship show us what it looks like when someone has experienced the love of God personally.

Pastor Patrick Carmichael & occasional guest speakers deliver God's Word at Christ Bible Church's weekly Sunday services. Mission Hills, California.

To follow Jesus at a distance is to be a lukewarm Christian. God said He would rather we be hot or cold—never lukewarm. If we “tone down” our beliefs to appease others, we add distance to our relationship with Jesus. We must draw closer to Him every day!

Have you ever been wrongly accused of something? There are few things more frustrating than injustice. Jesus was falsely convicted. He lived such a pure and sinless life that the Pharisees had to hire people to make up accusations against Him! As Christians, our lives should have no room for hatred or bias. Let's pray to have good testimonies like Jesus.

Imagine being asleep when the Son of God wants help! Just like the disciples were physically sleeping when Jesus prayed before His crucifixion, we too can be spiritually asleep when Jesus wants us alert. There are people who need to hear about Him! Let's be alert, because it's harvest time!

We don't know ourselves that well. We sure think we do—we can think highly of ourselves and judgmentally of others. But when we see how strong and holy God is, we realize how weak and woeful we are. Take a step back today and ask God to reveal Himself—it's humbling!

Jesus, the Son of God, faced more stress than we could ever comprehend. As the cross loomed before Him, He was “overwhelmed with sorrow to the point of death.” What would have happened if Jesus had avoided the cross? May we never take for granted the amazing sacrifice made on our behalf. What great love He showed!

We are in spiritual warfare every single day. What is our greatest defense? Prayer! Jesus told His disciples to watch and pray so that they wouldn't fall into temptation. That command applies to us today. The best way to stay strong against attacks from Satan is to get alone with God and pray. Let's ask God for a spirit of prayer!

Politics are filled with hatred and anger. This is nothing new. Jesus was taken by an organized group of men who hated Him. Though it seems hard to consider, we could be like those men! Are we so caught up in our political devotion that we are against the things of God? We must choose the love of God every single day. By God's grace, we can display that to an angry world.
