136
Mark teaches that God uses adversity, dead ends, and suffering to bring His people beyond self-reliance and into the resurrection power of Jesus Christ. Using Philippians 3, John 16, Matthew 26, and Hebrews 5, he contrasts betrayers, sleeping believers, man-minded believers, and Christ, who trusted the Father all the way to the cross. He urges believers to surrender, trust God, and prepare for deeper faith and glory.
