Betrayal and Arrest of Jesus

1 When Jesus had said these things, He went forth with His disciples across the brook Kedron, where there was a garden, into which He entered as well as His disciples.

2 And Judas also, who was betraying Him, knew the place, for Jesus often gathered there with His disciples.

3 Then Judas, having gotten the cohort and some attendants from the chief priests and Pharisees, came there with torches and lamps and weapons.

4 Jesus therefore, knowing all the things that were coming upon him, went forth and said to them, Whom do you seek?

5 They answered Him, Jesus the Nazarene. He said to them, I am. And Judas also, who was betraying Him, was standing with them.

6 When therefore He said to them, I am, they drew back and fell to the ground.

7 Then again He asked them, Whom do you seek? And they said, Jesus the Nazarene.

8 Jesus answered, I told you that I am; if therefore you seek Me, let these go away,

9 That the word might be fulfilled which He spoke, Of those whom You have given Me, I have not lost one.

10 Then Simon Peter, having a sword, drew it and struck the slave of the high priest and cut off his right ear; and the slave’s name was Malchus.

11 Jesus therefore said to Peter, Put the sword into its sheath. The cup which the Father has given Me, shall I not drink it? — John 18:1-11 | Recovery Version (REC) The Recovery Version of the Holy Bible © 2016 Living Stream Ministry. All rights reserved.

A Saturday Meditation Between Horror and Glory

Mis-named or Perfectly Named? Yesterday, in the mis-named/perfectly named, Good Friday, we reminded ourselves of the price of our redemption. Today we remind ourselves of the utter loneliness and suffering of the early disciples. On Saturday, their vision of the greatness of the sacrifice was obscured by the pain of their loss, and un-ameliorated by the glory of what would happen on Sunday…

"PRACTICE SPIRITUAL WARFARE FOR YOUR MARRIAGE"

If I were to choose the most important thing as the key that has kept my marriage united and healthy, I would have to say it is loving my husband and family more than myself and practicing spiritual warfare EVERY DAY!

Church notes - 30th April 2023

30th John 18:26 - 29

1 John 5:1 - 5

'To believe in Christ is to believe in His deity, in the power of His death to cleanse us from all sin and to avert the righteous wrath of a Holy Lord. It means that we believe that the love of God is expressed in the fullest measure by the Cross of Christ and that eternal life is experienced only by a faith union with Him, which is the product of His grace, appropriated by faith' Evan Forman

vs 1 -3 Faith is expressed in love. Love - For example -- Choosing not to bear false witness.

Obedience - Evidence of love Psalm 108:8

Jonah disobeyed God, but the wind and waves and the fish didn't.

Commmands being implemented in a legalistic way is burdensome and crushing.

Matthew 11:28 - 30

Victory Overthrowing the world.

vs 4, 5

Jesus at the Cross - Victory over sin, the Devil and the world. We need to stand in that place.

We need to live out the victory.

Galatians 2:20

Jesus has achieved the victory for us. In Christ we are victorius.

Meekness Isn't Weakness. It Could Even Win the Preakness

ou have heard the phrase, “Gentle Jesus, meek and mild”, right? I have often wondered about Jesus’ meekness. How meek was he? Was he just some sort of a milquetoast or doormat? Was Jesus a weakling? So, I did some research about meekness, and discovered there was more to it than merely being a wimp. Paul talked about meekness in his letter to Timothy: “And a servant of the Lord must not quarrel…
