If $(M_t)_{t \in [a,b]}$ is a martingale, then $t \mapsto E [ M_t ]$ is continuous.

Suppose $(M_t)_{t \in [a,b]}$ is a stochastic process. Denote $(\mathcal{F}_t)_{t \in[a,b]}$ to be the natural filtration generated by the process $(M_t)_{t \in [a,b]}$. Moreover, suppose $(M_t)_{t \in [a,b]}$ is martingale, i.e. $\forall s \le t \in [a,b]$, $$ E [ M_t \mid \mathcal{F}_s ] = E [ M_s ] \qquad a.s.,$$ where $E [ \cdot \mid \mathcal{F}_s ]$ denotes conditional expectation given sub-$\sigma$-algebra $\mathcal{F}_s$.

How can I show that the map $t \mapsto E [ M_t ]$ is continuous?

I am currently reading "Davar Khoshnevisan Multiparameter Resources An Introduction to Random Fields". And at pp. 226 he remarks that the above question is true. But I don't know how to show it. Can someone help?

I am thinking along the line of computing $$E [ M_t ] - E [ M_s ]$$ by using the definition of martingale as defined above, properties of conditional expectation, etc, and then take the limit $s \to t$ to hopefully get a zero as the finally result. (This means continuity.)

Any help is much appreciated!

I may be misunderstanding something but it looks to me like the unconditional expectation of a martingale is constant: taking $s=a$ in the definition gives $$ EM_t=EE[M_t|M_a]=EM_a \forall\,t\in[a;b]. $$ And a constant function is clearly continuous...
