Easter Service Part 1 | Jesus Had To... 3.28.21

 

John 18:1

18 When he had finished praying, Jesus left with his disciples and crossed the Kidron Valley. On the other side there was a garden, and he and his disciples went into it.

 

 

John 13:30

30 As soon as Judas had taken the bread, he went out. And it was night.

 

 

Luke 22:3-6

3 Then Satan entered Judas, called Iscariot, one of the Twelve. 4 And Judas went to the chief priests and the officers of the temple guard and discussed with them how he might betray Jesus. 5 They were delighted and agreed to give him money. 6 He consented, and watched for an opportunity to hand Jesus over to them when no crowd was present.

 

 

John 18:2-3

Now Judas, who betrayed him, knew the place, because Jesus had often met there with his disciples. 3 So Judas came to the garden, guiding a detachment of soldiers and some officials from the chief priests and the Pharisees. They were carrying torches, lanterns and weapons.

 

 

John 18:4

Jesus, knowing all that was going to happen to him, went out and asked them, "Who is it you want?"

 

 

Jesus does not run from difficult situations.

 

 

John 18:4-9

4 Jesus, knowing all that was going to happen to him, went out and asked them, "Who is it you want?" 5 "Jesus of Nazareth," they replied. "I am he," Jesus said. (And Judas the traitor was standing there with them.) 6 When Jesus said, "I am he," they drew back and fell to the ground.

7 Again he asked them, "Who is it you want?" "Jesus of Nazareth," they said. Jesus answered, "I told you that I am he. If you are looking for me, then let these men go." 

 

  

Jesus willingly surrendered His life in order to save yours.  

 

John 18:10-11

10 Then Simon Peter, who had a sword, drew it and struck the high priest's servant, cutting off his right ear. (The servant's name was Malchus.) 11 Jesus commanded Peter, "Put your sword away! Shall I not drink the cup the Father has given me?"

 

 

Jesus had to.

 

 

Luke 22:49-51

When those who were around Him saw what was going to happen, they said, "Lord, shall we strike with the sword?" 50 And one of them struck the slave of the high priest and cut off his right ear. 51 But Jesus responded and said, "Stop! No more of this." And He touched his ear and healed him.

 

 

John 18:12

Then the detachment of soldiers with its commander and the Jewish officials arrested Jesus.

 

The Passion that Jesus has for you is what led Him to the Cross.
