Cross Point Church Audio Podcast

Have you ever felt the sting of betrayal or the weight of loneliness? In Mark 14:43–72, we see some of the most painful moments in Jesus’ final hours. Judas betrays Him with a kiss, Peter denies even knowing Him, and the rest of the disciples scatter. Yet even in the face of betrayal, abandonment, and false accusations, Jesus responds with grace, courage, and unwavering love. In week 43 of our journey through the Gospel of Mark, Pastor Kevin Queen walks through this powerful passage to show how Jesus understands our deepest pain. Before He carried the weight of the world’s sin to the cross, He carried the grief of being abandoned by the people closest to Him. And still, His love never wavered. This message challenges us with an important question: What is worth suffering for? When we make Jesus our primary passion, even the pain and failure we experience can be used for God’s purpose. The same Jesus who stood alone in the garden also restored the disciples, and continues to restore hearts today. R
