CASTING AWAY OUR

OLD SELF FOR

CONTINUING

EVER-NEWNESS

IN THE PURSUIT OF

OUR LIVELIHOODS!

MARK CHAPTERS 14 & 15
STORY-LINED & EXPLAINED

FOR OUR CLEARER
UNDERSTANDING
& BETTER APPRECIATION
FOR  LIVING OUT

THE GOSPEL
in response 
TO GOD's PURPOSE for US

MAKING KING JESUS
our SLAVE --- PLEASED:

>>Chapter 14:1-11   By our
getting HIM to enjoy
HIS disciples' love

despite those opposed to HIM
are continuing to conspire to 
betray HIM even
to the present!!!!

>>12-26  By our
observing HIS MEMORIAL
at HIS last meal with them that
they (including those disciples

after them - WE) will all not

forget HIM!!!! 

JESUS initiated
this memorial for

ALL BELIEVERS
IN HIS LORDSHIP
& CHRISTHOOD

• to celebrate in remembrance of HIM

• to replace The Old Testament practice (>>>T#013)

• of the elect’s reminder of THE JEHOVAH's SALVATION

• >>Exodus 12:14; >>13:3

This celebration is
to be part of

• THE New TESTAMENT way of living

• for JEWS & GENTILES alike

• is to remember JESUS

• by eating of the bread

• which signifies HIS mortal body

• given up for HIS amnestied called-outs

• [not all called-outs]

• >>1st Corinthians 11:24

• and drinking the cup

• which signifies HIS blood

• shed for our sinnings (>>Matthew26:28)

The bread denotes
the life (>>John 6:35),

• THE LIFE of GOD

• THE eternal LIFE.

The cup denotes blessing
(>>1st Corinthians 10:16),

• which is GOD-HIMSELF

• as our share (>>Psalm 16:5)

• As sinners, our share should have been the cup of GOD’s wrath (>>Revelation 14:10)

• But, JESUS drank that cup for us (>>John 19:11) and

• HIS SALVATION becomes our share

• the cup of SALVATION (>>Psalm 116:13)

• that overflows (>>Psalm 23:5)

• the content of which is GOD-HIMSELF

• as our blessing lacking in nothing.

Such bread and such cup
are the constituents

of JESUS’ last meal before
HIS death

• which is a gathering (>>1st Corinthians 10:21)

• a memorial set up by HIM

• that BELIEVERS IN HIS LORDSHIP & CHRISTHOOD

• may remember HIM happily

• by enjoying HIM as such in such celebration.

Thus, we collectively are to
testify of HIS SALVATION

• to the entire world

• displaying HIS redeeming and life-imparting death

• >>1st Corinthians 11:26

• --- HIS blood separated from HIS body spelled death for HIM.

• GOD made a covenant with redeemed Israel

• (the Jews only at that period of time) in >>Exodus 24:3-8

• confirmed in >>Hebrews 9:18-21

• --- The Old Covenant --- HIS basis in dealing with them then

• under the dispensation of the law.

JESUS THE CHRIST
came to accomplish

• GOD’s eternal REDEMPTION

• for all GOD’s chosen people

• by HIS death

• according to GOD’s will (>>Hebrews 10:7, 9, 10)

• and with HIS blood

• instituted THE New COVENANT

• (under the as-a-whole take-it-or-leave-it policy

• dili-ipamugos -- sa motu-o ug sa mosugot lang)

• the better covenant (>>Hebrews 8:6-13)

• which started officially to become fully effective ----

• for the whosoever will (>>Hebrews 9:16-17) on that Pentecost Day of A.D. 33

as GOD’s basis
for HIS dealings
with all HIS chosen
Jews and Gentiles –
irregardless.

THIS New COVENANT

replaced

The Old Covenant.

THE CHRIST wants ALL
OF HIS AMNESTIED

Jews and Gentiles,

to know this fact!!!!

• and to live in this world making THE New COVENANT

• the rule and guide of OUR FAITH in HIS resurrected LIFE

• we are to share in ETERNITY!!!!

 

>>27-42    Warning them

of their stumbling and 

charging them to

watch and pray

THE ONE GOD determined
in HIS divine plan

• in eternity past that

• The 2^nd ROLE HE was to play

• vis-à-vis the whole of mankind

was to be THE SEEN and HEARD

by us as THE INCARNATED .... 

• later (after 33 years) --- to die on the cross

• to accomplish HIS eternal REDEMPTION

for the fulfillment of
HIS eternal purpose

• (>>Ephesians 1:7-9).

JESUS THE CHRIST
was ordained

• before HIS own people

• to be THE LAMB OF GOD (>>John 1:29)

• even before the creation of the earth

• that is --- in eternity past (>>1st Peter 1:19-20)

• in the eyes of GOD.

HE was THE LAMB of 
GOD --- HIMSELF.

HE was the lamb slain for
the purpose of GOD

• even before the creation of the earth

• to save them because GOD has already seen fall

• --- all HIS creatures.

Since man’s fall, lambs/
sheep/calves/bulls

were used by GOD’s
chosen people then,

(>>Genesis 3:21,
>>4:4, >>8:20, >>22:13;

>>Exodus 12:3-8;
>>Leviticus 1:2),

• as types pointing to THE CHRIST

• still unnamed THEN

• WHO during their time

• yet to come in the flesh

• as THE REAL LAMB fore-ordained by GOD.

In the fullness of time,

• The 2^nd ROLE THE ONE GOD played was

• ---- as THE SON OF GOD

• WHO came seen and heard in human form (>>Hebrews 10:5)

• that HE might be offered to GOD on the cross (>>Hebrews 9:14, >>10:12)

• to do the will of THE ONE GOD (>>Hebrews 10:7); that is,

to replace the sacrifices
and offerings

(which were just
semblances anyway!)

• with HIMSELF na gyud in humanity

• as the unique sacrifice and suffering

• for the sanctification of GOD’s chosen people

• (>>Hebrews 10:9-10).

>>43-52    JESUS Arrested

>>53-72    JESUS Judged by the Jewish Religious Leaders

>>15:1-15    JESUS Judged by the Roman Governor

Under GOD’s
sovereign plan

• JESUS THE CHRIST was judged

• not only by The religious Jews as sheep before the shearer (>>Isaiah 53:7) in >>Mark 14:53-65

• but also by The Gentiles as represented by the political powers that the Romans were --- during that time

• as a criminal before HIS accusers (>>Mark 14:64).

--- that HE might die to save all

• (from all our sinnings --- religious, political, business and otherwise)

with HIS life as a ransom
not for all

• but only for the many (>>Mark 10:45)

• who will avail of HIS SALVATION in the way of

THE New COVENANT's
GRAND AMNESTY GRANT!!!!

>>16-41    JESUS crucified

>>42-47    JESUS buried
