Dean Elliott teaches from Mark 14:53–72. Today’s passage serves as a reminder of the message of the gospel—all are in need of a Savior. We will see how determined Jesus is to fulfill His mission of going to the cross to save the world, which is why He remained silent and did not defend Himself before the chief priests and council. We will also see Peter’s failure, which reveals the certainty of failure for those who rely on their own flesh instead of trusting in the Lord.
