Jesus is Betrayed and Denied | Mark 14:26-71

This Redeemed Life with Marian Jordan Ellis

We learn in the book of Proverbs that pride goes before destruction. If we ever think we’ve arrived spiritually or we are beyond a fall, then that’s the moment we are in trouble. This truth rightly describes the events that led up to the failure of two of Jesus' closest disciples, Judas and Peter, on the night Jesus was sentenced to death. Just as it was prophesied in the Old Testament, Jesus, the Messiah, was betrayed by one of His own and abandoned by all during His hour of need. During this long dark night, Jesus said yes to the cross and surrendered His will to the Father, becoming the world's Savior. These climatic events are recorded from the eyewitness account of the Apostle Peter, who shares the betrayal of Judas and his own bleak failure. In this episode, Marian Jordan Ellis walks through Mark 14:26-71 and looks at the night when Jesus was arrested and how the poison of pride and the deception of self-confidence led to the fall of Judas and Peter.
