Jesus Was Rejected, 24

 

~ Jesus Was Arrested, 4 ~

 

This Series ~ Jesus Christ came to earth to save sinners. He lived a sinless life. He was a truly righteous man. But He was rejected by mankind. He died a cruel, painful death as a penalty for our sins. Those who now accept Him and trust Him for eternal salvation will live forever with Him without any more pains or sadness.

 

Scripture ~  “When Jesus had spoken these words, He went out with His disciples over the Brook Kidron, where there was a garden, which He and His disciples entered. ² And Judas, who betrayed Him, also knew the place; for Jesus often met there with His disciples. ³ Then Judas, having received a detachment of troops, and officers from the chief priests and Pharisees, came there with lanterns, torches, and weapons. ⁴ Jesus therefore, knowing all things that would come upon Him, went forward and said to them, ‘Whom are you seeking?’

 

⁵ “They answered Him, ‘Jesus of Nazareth.’

 

“Jesus said to them, ‘I am He.’ And Judas, who betrayed Him, also stood with them. ⁶ Now when He said to them, ‘I am He,’ they drew back and fell to the ground.

 

⁷ “Then He asked them again, ‘Whom are you seeking?’ And they said, ‘Jesus of Nazareth’

 

⁸ “Jesus answered, ‘I have told you that I am He. Therefore, if you seek Me, let these go their way,’ ⁹ that the saying might be fulfilled which He spoke, ‘Of those whom You gave Me I have lost none.’

 

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

.

¹¹ “So Jesus said to Peter, ‘Put your sword into the sheath. Shall I not drink the cup which My Father has given Me’?” (John 18:1-11)
