PRAYER DOES NOT ALWAYS CHANGE THE CIRCUMSTANCE WE ARE IN, BUT IT CAN ALWAYS CHANGE OUR ACCEPTANCE OF IT AND ATTITUDE TOWARD IT.
JESUS IS BETRAYED
- The “crowd” of thugs expecting a fight
- Jesus predicted this - Mark 8:31
- a “kiss” - a sign of respect and of friendship
- Peter fights and is rebuked
- the disciples fled into the darkness
- the “young man wearing a linen garment”
- Mark?
- “linen cloth” for Jesus’ body Mark 15:46
- “young man” in the tomb Mark 16:5
- THE ISOLATION OF JESUS IS COMPLETE
