Delivered Over

Mark continues his narrative on Passion Week going from Jesus’s earnest prayers in the Garden of Gethsemane to his abandonment by His disciples. But, before Jesus was deserted by His disciples, He was deserted by God. However, despite how bad the situation appears, God is in sovereign control. Whats more, even though man seems in charge of events, we see that God never loses the reins.

Four Groups of People that God Uses to Accomplish His Goals 

1. God uses the envy of the Jewish religious rulers.
2. God uses the injustice of Pilate.
3. God uses the cruelty of the Roman soldiers.
4. God uses the silent surrender of Christ.
