Mark 14:53-65
Mark 15:33-41
We will never know how it was for Jesus to suffer the separation from the Father and Holy Spirit. But because of His sacrifice we will be Joint Heirs with Him in Heaven.
We who are His disciples can now enter into the Holy of Holies any time we want. We can carry our praises and petitions to God in His Throne Room. We have direct access because of Jesus.
Jesus from the time of His birth was focused on one thing, the will of the Father. His will was always subordinate to that of His Father in Heaven.
