Mark 13-16

It took me a total of 20 minutes in two settings to read this long passage.  What amazes me most about Jesus response to his accusers and tormentors is that fact that he offered no response.  What a series of temptations.  These same tests have faced millions of Christians through the centuries, even today.  So many of them have take up their crosses, died to self, and then willingly, with the help and strength of the Holy Spirit, received the pain and suffering in order to glorify God.  They endured the same way Jesus did; by looking beyond right now and seeing into eternity.
