Divine Sovereignty and Passover Fulfillment
Human conspiracy cannot disrupt God’s redemptive timing.
Mark 14:1–2 (BSB)
1Now the Passover and the Feast of Unleavened Bread were two days away, and the chief priests and scribes were looking for a covert way to arrest Jesus and kill Him.
2“But not during the feast,” they said, “or there may be a riot among the people.”
What is the big idea of Mark 14:1–2?
Human conspiracy cannot disrupt God’s redemptive timing.
Authorial Intent
To show that the leaders’ conspiracy unfolds within God’s sovereign redemptive plan at Passover.
How does Mark 14:1–2 point to Christ?
Jesus, the true Passover Lamb, was sovereignly appointed to die for sinners; through His sacrificial death and resurrection, He secures deliverance from sin for all who believe.
