A Dodgy Trial (Mark 14:43-65)

22/3/2015

In the middle of the night, Jesus is approached by one of his closest followers, who betrays him with a kiss and hands him over to an arrest party armed to the hilt. There is a scuffle, but Jesus accepts his fate and his followers flee, including one young man who loses his cloak and flees naked. This is all followed by a dodgy night-time trial.

Yet, despite all the cloak and daggers, we see in this story the naked truth of what is really going on in people's hearts.
