Bible reference(s): Mark 14.12-42

Jesus offers the cup of friendship with God, by drinking the cup of God's judgement.

In this short series of talks in the lead up to Easter, City Legal looks at the last days of the life of Jesus. There is escalating conflict with Jesus' opponents, sober instructions to his band of followers, and Jesus' deep internal struggle upon which rests (according to the Christian faith) the destiny of all humankind.

Our speaker is Kanishka Raffel who is the Dean of the Anglican Cathedral of St Andrews. Kanishka was formerly a lawyer with Blake Dawson (now Ashurst).

Kanishka Raffel was born in London to Sri Lankan parents and was raised as a Buddhist. While studying law at Sydney University a friend gave him a copy of The Gospel according to John and he subsequently became a Christian. He has served as the 12th Dean of St Andrew's Cathedral, Sydney, from 4 February 2016 - 2021. On 6 May 2021, he was elected as the next Anglican Archbishop of Sydney. He is married to Cailey and they have two daughters. He loves curry, cricket and having gelato at the beach with his family but knows no pleasure so great as sharing the news about Jesus with people who have no idea who Jesus is or how much he loves them.
