"Jesus the Savior": Weekly Leader Training—Unit 26, Session 4: Jesus Is Arrested
The contrast of Jesus’ disposition in Mark 14 and the rest of Mark’s Gospel is jarring. Up to this point, Jesus has shown a remarkable sense of controlled confidence. In fact, His calm dignity stirred up awe and amazement among those He encountered. Even when predicting His own death, there wasn’t the slightest hint of dread or trepidation. In...
