Matthew 26:47-56
Judas arrived with a large crowd armed with swords and clubs.
Judas had arranged a signal with them:'The one I kiss is the man; arrest him."
Jesus replied," Friend, do what you came for"
Peter used sword struck the servant of the high priest, cutting off his ear.
Jesus said to him, " for all who draw sword will die by the sword"
Do you think I can not call my father and he will at once at my disposal more than 12 legions of angles? But how then would the Scriptures be fulfilled that say it must happen in this day?"
Am I leading rebellion, that you have come out with swords and clubs to capture me?
Then all the disciples deserted him and fled.
Why?
Jesus call Judas Friend, Not his name, at that moment, Judas was not relationship with Jesus.he
The crowd came with swords and clubs, they though Jesus might fight against them.
Jesus came with peace, Jesus has more powerful than using sword or other weapon. using wepon could be die by the weapon. For weapon is dangerous.
Jesus has power, but he knows what is the mission of His coming, He is obedience to accepted the path of suffering as his father's will. let the Scriptures be fulfilled- To be a redeemer of all people sin.
Jesus expressed only love for he traitor.
Jesus arrests the violence. (He heals the injured man)
Disciples were deserted for Jesus was arrested, they fled to save their life. It was did as Jesus said.
How?
Obedience and love is the way of Jesus did.
Most powerful man in the world did not conquer the world by power but conquer the world, the sin by love.
This is a spiritual war, Jesus is the King forever.
