Opposing God
John 18:10-11
"10 Then Simon Peter having a sword drew it, and smote the high priest's servant, and cut off his right ear. The servant's name was Malchus. 11 Then said Jesus unto Peter, Put up thy sword into the sheath: the cup which my Father hath given me, shall I not drink it?" |
Picture the scene in the garden of Gethsemane. There is an angry armed mob led by the traitor Judas, all of them having come in the moonlit night, equipped with torches for searching in the shadows of the garden, to arrest one man, Jesus. After giving them a miraculous display of the power of God, He admitted for the second time to being the person for whom they were looking and agreed to go with them, if they would let His disciples go free.
