Divine Sovereignty and Passover Fulfillment
Human conspiracy cannot disrupt God’s redemptive timing.
Mark 14:1–2 (BSB)
1 Now 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.
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.
Authorial Intent
To show that the leaders’ conspiracy unfolds within God’s sovereign redemptive plan at Passover.
