Christ Alone: Why Following People Will Never Work (Mark 14) | #83

Right after the Lord’s Supper and Gethsemane, the betrayal happens and it’s bigger than most people imagine. In Mark 14:43–52, Judas arrives with a crowd carrying swords and clubs. His “sign” isn’t a weapon, it’s a kiss. Peter responds as the kingdoms of this world do: he draws his sword. And then, when things get real, everyone runs. In this episode, Zach and Jill unpack how both betrayals: Judas’ cynical kiss and Peter’s zealous violence, miss the way of the Kingdom. In the end, Christ is the only one left standing, and He walks the road to the cross alone. Not because the plan failed, but because this is how salvation is accomplished.
