So the question for us today: How can I know if I'm a Judas or a Peter?We'll get to that. But first let's get to the text. There are some really cool nuggets on the way to answering our personal question for the day.Mark 14:12 (NLT) On the first day of the Festival of Unleavened Bread, when the Passover lamb is sacrificed, Jesus' disciples asked him, “Where do you want us to go to prepare the Passover meal for you?”We talked about this meal last week…They had no clue that Jesus was going to redefine history with this mealThey had no idea we would be talking about this moment 2000 years later!Mark 14:13-16 (NLT) So Jesus sent two of them into Jerusalem with these instructions: “As you go into the city, a man carrying a pitcher of water will meet you. Follow him. At the house he enters, say to the owner, ‘The Teacher asks: Where is the guest room where I can eat the Passover meal with my disciples?' He will take you upstairs to a large room that is already set up. That is where you should prepare our meal.” So the two disciples went into the city and found everything just as Jesus had said, and they prepared the Passover meal there.Strange instructions. Sounds like a CIA mission. Notice the simple obedience.(Pillar New Testament Commentary) A male water carrier would have caught their eye, for carrying water was normally the labor of women or slaves.Nugget: (Pillar New Testament Commentary) The hall so described resembles the meeting place of the early church described in Acts 1:13 (Upper Room) and 12:12 (after Peter's prison escape, “...he went to the home of Mary, the mother of John Mark, where many were gathered for prayer.”). If it is the same dwelling, then it belonged to Mary, the mother of John Mark, the probable author of the Second Gospel. The suggestion that John Mark was the carrier of the water jar is possible, but without evidence.Now I want to jump down to v22, the meal itself. We'll come back to v17-21 at the end. But while we're talking about the Passover meal, we need to connect some dots here. Four cups of wine were traditionally consumed during the Passover meal, each with a specific significance. The cups represented different aspects of the Exodus story and God's promises. The four cups are typically labeled as follows:1. Cup of Sanctification (Kiddush Cup): This is the first cup, and it is associated with the sanctification of the holiday.
Mitzi Minor joined the Memphis Theological Seminary (MTS) faculty in the summer of 1993. From the beginning of her vocation as a teacher/scholar, first as a grad student, through three years of teaching undergrads, and during all her time at MTS, the primary focus of her work has been (and continues to be) the intersection of the New Testament with our own spiritual journeys. She believes deeply that critical biblical study is a significant aid along the journey and seeks to demonstrate that belief in the classroom, in the church, and when she writes.Dr. Minor was reared in Southern Baptist Churches and continues to be grateful to those good folks in that setting who taught her to love the Bible. She left the turmoil of that denomination in 1990 and was ordained by the Cumberland Presbyterian Church in 1991. Cumberland Presbyterians and their seminary (MTS) have provided a challenging and nurturing environment for Dr. Minor to grow as a person of faith and as a teacher/scholar. She teaches courses at MTS in the Gospels, Romans, the Corinthian letters, Revelation, NT Greek, and feminist NT studies. The Gospel of Mark was her first love as a grad student, and it inspires her still. She's written two books and numerous articles on Mark and has lectured on the Second Gospel twice. In addition, she's written a commentary on 2 Corinthians and given lectures inspired by that writing. She's also lectured on Revelation.Beyond her work at MTS, Dr. Minor also spends significant time teaching in church and retreat settings, which brings her much joy. Lay Christians benefit from critical biblical study every bit as much as seminarians! While some people insist that critical study “won't work” in church, Dr. Minor delights in proving them wrong. She delights even more in lay Christians' eagerness to understand their Bibles.If possible, Dr. Minor would spend every moment outside of work hiking somewhere and taking her camera along. But since that's not possible, she also fills her non-working hours with good friends, mystery novels and poetry, bicycle rides, being an Auburn sports fan, and attending to her large and close extended family. - Bio from the faculty page of Memphis Theological Seminary https://memphisseminary.edu/dr-mitzi-l-minor/Music is provided by Pierce Murphy, Caldera Blue.

Did Jesus really believe that all of the scriptures pointed to him? And why does it matter that you and I read the bible through the Jesus lens? Join Charles Morris for the answers.

The first verse of the book of Mark gives Jesus' title as “Christ, the Son of God.” Throughout Mark's biography of Jesus, demons, disciples, and a host of others confess Jesus' identity. Mark weaves numerous stories of Jesus' life, ministry, death, and resurrection around these confessions, leading his audience to ask, with those who witnessed Jesus' life, “Who is this?” At the end of the book, a Roman centurion, witnessing the crucifixion, proclaims, “Truly this was the Son of God.” This introductory sermon to our series through Mark's Gospel examines Mark's themes of the identity of Jesus and the nature of following him.

One of the tasks of exegesis is determining the text. Dr. Seth Ehorn, Visiting Assistant Professor of New Testament, considers how the Gospel of Mark ends in modern translations and in early Greek manuscripts: Does the Second Gospel end in 16.8 or 16.20?
