Mark 14:10-16

Mark 14:10-16

  1. We ought to mark to what lengths a man may go in a false profession of religion.
  2. We ought to mark the intentional connection between the time of the Jewish Passover and the time of Christ's death.

"The true Christian ought to be far more afraid of being rich than of being poor."

"Those who neglect to study the Jewish ordinances, as dark, dull, and uninteresting parts of the Bible, only show their own ignorance, and miss great advantages. Those who examine them with Christ as the key to their meaning, will find them full of Gospel light and comfortable truth."

Questions:

1. Have we taken heed the warnings and potential dangers of being rich? Do our hearts tend to covet the newest thing we see, or are we content with what we have?

2. When we read the Old Testament, do we struggle and find it boring, or do we read the types and ordinances with prayerful attention to what they tell us about Christ and His work? Reading a book like Leviticus with this in mind can radically transform our understanding of our Savior.
