I want to invite your attention to a passage is found in John,
the eighteenth chapter and I want to begin reading there in
verse 1. We're just notice these two
verses for our introduction. John chapter 18, beginning in
verse 1, when Jesus had spoken these words, he went out with
his disciples, over the brook Kidron, where there was a garden
where he was there with his disciples and Judas, who
betrayed him also knew the place for Jesus often met there with
his His disciples for a little while.
I want to talk on the subject, I've simply entitled Gethsemane
will notice our remarks from John's account when Jesus was
arrested in the garden apart from the cross.
No greater Agony has ever been experienced by any being that
has ever lived in this world in human form.
No man has ever suffered this way.
In fact, this is the second greatest Agony that our Lord
would experience. And obviously, the first being
that, which is to come on the cross itself.
But this is the second great Agony.
This is the Apex of his life of sorrow and grief.
This is the high point of torturous suffering.
This is the night when Jesus anticipates drinking the cup of
divine wrath which would be his in full.
At the cross. And again, his sorrow was so
severe. And the struggle was so massive.
That the Bible says that his sweat was, as it were great
drops of blood falling to the ground.
Now, if we look at the other gospel accounts, we see the
human suffering side of Jesus. I don't want to minimize the
human suffering side. Jesus was in tremendous Agony,
terrible. It was for the Son of God to go
through the things that he did. Did the night in which before he
would be crucified on a Roman cross for the sins of the world.
Earlier on in our meeting we talked about the fact that the
Bible describes Jesus as the Messiah as the son of man and
also as the Son of God obviously he's the son of man, meaning
that our Messiah, Our Savior was fully human, there was a human
side to the messiahship but he's the son of God meaning.
There's the Divine side of his messiahship and it seems as
though if you look at the other gospel accounts, not John the
other ones. It seems as though they describe
the human side with the human suffering and John presents
something else. The Divine side, the deity of
Jesus Christ. Now, all of these things really
point to the supremacy of Jesus Christ and it's done.
So with for preemption Eminent features.
Now let me just say we're going to spend more time on number one
then we are the rest of them and by the time we get to number 4,
it's going to be actually in the conclusion.
So don't think that because we're spending so much time on
number one, we're going to be here all day and night we're
just going to spend more time on number one, the first preeminent
feature that exalts Jesus to the highest in the event of The
Garden of Gethsemane, was his Supreme.
Courage, his courage is certainly seen and his
willingness to go to the cross. You know, I'll tell you it's
courageous when somebody would die for a cause that we call
that a hero when somebody would die for a cause we also find
that if someone is tremendously create a courageous because he's
willing to be martyred for a truth that he is he refuses to
reject. We call that Noble but purpose
in your mind. Jesus think about Jesus here.
Jesus is about to be have all of his Purity and all of his
sinlessness. Has violated and bear the sin of
every man that has ever lived. He would be on the cross
abandoned by God. And he would say those words, my
God, my God. Why hast Thou, forsaken?
Me or is another translation? Renders it.
My God, my God. Why are you so far from helping
me? This is courage, this is
infinite Supreme courage and Jesus sets, his face to go to
the cross and does so Undaunted and he does.
So without hesitation, please understand.
This, though, when they came to arrest Jesus, He was not
tricked, he was not trapped, and he was not surprised.
Please understand that it even magnifies his courage even more.
So he wasn't tricked. He wasn't trapped and he wasn't
surprised. Notice verse one.
Now is I'll put it on the screen.
Verse 1, John 18, and verse 1. When Jesus had spoken these
words he went out with his disciples.
Now obviously in some translations say he went forth
but evidently what it's talking about.
About when he finished speaking, the words of the prayer in the
17th chapter, he's going to go with those disciples.
He's going to leave that Upper Room.
He's going to leave the city of Jerusalem and he's going to
cross a little Brook called Kidron, and he's going to go a
place there that we simply call The Garden of Gethsemane.
You know, it was his custom to retire there.
It's a place that he often went there.
In fact, the Bible says, in John Chapter 7, Very end of the
chapter. It says this, every man went to
his own house, but then the beginning of chapter 8, says,
and Jesus went to the Mount of Olives.
This was the closest thing to home that the Lord had.
Do you remember when Jesus was speaking to that?
Scribe who said, I will follow you wherever you go.
And Jesus said, foxes have holes and birds of the air have nests,
but the son of man has nowhere to lay his head early on in the
This meeting we talked about what that means.
It meant that Jesus did not have the Creature Comforts of life.
That even the animals. Have not only that, he didn't
have a place of permanence in this world.
And that's what he was talking about.
Oftentimes though, he went to this place called The Garden.
He went to this place in the Mount of Olives.
Now, there were other times that he might go out a little ways
crossed a little row. Road, go around a little Hill.
I'm told and go to the place called Bethany and be there with
dear friends, Mary and Martha, but not on this night, this was
time for Gethsemane. I want you to understand that,
Jesus knew exactly what was going to happen.
Each. And every thing that did happen,
he not only, he not only knew, but he also planned every
detail. Now, first of all, there's
somebody else that also new. And I think this is very Very
important there. Somebody else that knew that
Jesus was going to go there, and it was the betrayer, it was
Judas Iscariot when we think about the relationship between
Jesus and Judas, there's actually a picture in the Old
Testament of two other characters that kind of fit that
description or that similar picture.
And because of that, it actually brings up a very interesting
point about prophecy. Let me just say, There's two
kinds of Prophecy. Number one, there's verbal
predictive, propers prophecy. And number two, there is typical
prophecy verbal. Predictive prophecy, is a verbal
prediction of something that's going to happen later, for
example, in Isaiah 9:6 For unto us.
A child is born unto us a son is given.
That is a verbal prediction that's going to be fulfilled
later about Jesus Christ. Iced, we understand that, but
typical prophecy is different typical.
Prophecy is prophecy in types. For example, every Old
Testament, sacrifice was a picture of Jesus, the ultimate
and final sacrifice, he would be for the world.
Now sometimes men or characters, also typified Christ, for
example, about Moses, Moses typified.
Jesus in that Moses was the deliverer to deliver God's
people. The children of Israel out of
Egyptian bondage. Jesus is the Fulfillment of
that, in that he is the ultimate fulfillment.
He is the ultimate deliverer deliver to deliver people out of
the bondage of sin. What about Joseph?
You know, a preacher. One time said that he counted
over 100 points of likeness between the life of Joseph.
If and the life of Jesus, one of which would be how he was
betrayed and how he was sold. And the Bible would describe
that his brothers sold him into slavery for 20 pieces of silver.
The price of a slave in like fashion, Jesus was sold and
betrayed for 30 pieces of silver, the price of a slave.
Now, there were also characters that were tip that typified
Jesus, in a, in an event, Like Isaac.
When God told Abraham, take thy son, thine only son, Isaac and
take him to a place that I will tell thee and offer him as a
sacrifice unto me. Do you remember as they went on
and they spent about three days on this journey, you know, in
the mind of Abraham, the very second that he purposed to go
and obey, God and offer Isaac as a sacrifice when that three-day
period started in his mind as he began for three days.
Ways, Isaac was already sacrificed.
You know what happened? Three days later, God stayed his
hand and he received him back in like fashion.
Jesus was nailed to a Roman cross, he was buried.
And on the third day, guess what?
He received him back. There's something else, too.
You know, when Isaac carried the wood that he would be sacrificed
on. Can you imagine that having
someone carry or something that you're going to sacrifice a
blood sacrifice? And you're going to carry the
wood that you're going to be sacrificed on.
That's exactly what Isaac did and, you know, that typified
Jesus. Because guess what?
Jesus also carried the wood that he would be sacrificed on as
well. All of this is Go prophecy.
Now I said all that to say this, there's a picture of the
relationship between Jesus and Judas.
In the Old Testament. It's found in the book of
second, Samuel chapter 15. We're talking about King David
and the Bible says that David had a familiar friend and his
name was a hit the fell. Now we know the story Absalom,
the bad son of David decides to rise up against David and all of
that, you know what happened familiar Friend by the name of a
hit, the fill lifted up his heel against David as it were and
went with Absalom. Do you know where David went?
David crossed, the Little Brook. At Kidron.
And he went to the Mount of Olives with his faithful
followers in like fashion. Judas, lifted up his heel
against Christ Judas. Being a familiar friend, he did
the very same thing, you know what Jesus did he crossed the
Little Brook Kidron and he went into the Mount of Olives.
With his followers. Why did Jesus go there if he
knew that, all of that was going to happen?
Why did he do that? The Mount of Olives are the get,
or The Garden of Gethsemane was a place of prayer, it was a
place of rest and it was a place of fellowship with his
disciples. That's all true.
But all of that is secondary. The primary reason that he went
there is because he knew that Judas knew where he would go,
and he knew that Judas would take that mob and bring him
right there. And he was going to surrender
himself wilfully to do that. Now, does that mean that Jesus
was actually setting up the confrontation?
That's exactly what that means. That's exactly what that means.
Look at the next verse verse 2, And Judas, who betrayed him.
Also knew the place for Jesus often met there with his
disciples. You know, I've often thought as
I've reflected back on that event.
I've often thought what if Jesus would have stayed in Jerusalem
and he ever thought about that? What if he would have stayed in
Jerusalem with his disciples? Then what what if the arrest
would have taken place in the city of Jerusalem?
Now, we know a few things about the life of Jesus.
In the last week of Jesus, we know a few things.
For example, we know that there were people that rejected Jesus
one week prior though they were saying Hosanna to the king.
I guess in today's common vernacular, three, cheers for
Jesus and then many other people just forsook him and all that.
We know that but then among others Jesus was very popular.
Can you imagine how it would have been if they would have
come to take Jesus? And in the life or in the, in
the midst of all of those that perhaps would have been
supporters of Jesus? Maybe it would have caused a
revolution. I don't know, maybe an
insurrection. Jesus is going to a place where
he is taken and he controls everything.
This is willful voluntary, surrender.
Listen to John chapter 10 and verse 17.
Listen to this. Therefore my father loves me
because I lay down my life, that I may take it again.
That's verse 17. Here's Verse 18.
No one takes it from me, but I lay it down of myself.
I have the power to lay it down. I have the power to take it
again. Again, this command I have
received from my father. In other words, a coward would
have gone anywhere, but the garden.
You know, in Matthew chapter 26. It says, the great multitudes
came with swords, staves and clubs and they were ready for
action. You know, the best that I can
tell it was, it seems to me that the temple police were those
that use the club's, the soldiers of Rome, use the
swords, and staves, and they come to get Jesus.
And look at verse number 3, listen to this, then Judas
having received a Detachment of troops interesting about that.
What is the Detachment of troops?
A Detachment of troops, by the way, is a Roman cohort.
Now, I've read a lot of commentators.
I've read a lot of things, I know sha.
Hey, I'm sure he has but I'll tell you, I've read a lot about
how many men were would have been in this Roman cohort me to
share with you some things that I have read.
One commentator said that a Roman cohort could have
constituted anywhere from two hundred, six hundred or even
twelve hundred men. All right, then I just Googled a
Roman cohort and I came up with this A Roman legion equaled, 10
cohorts now 10 cohorts, in a Roman legion, was 5,000 men.
So if there are ten cohorts you're talking about 500 men,
let's just grab that number. Let's just say five hundred men.
Can you imagine 500, man? And here they come to the Garden
of Gethsemane. And guess whose right out in
front. The vile betrayer.
And he's leading the way. He's in the front.
I like what one man said one time.
What a compliment, 500 men plus all the others?
What a compliment to send so many?
Did you take to get a Galilean Carpenter and his friends?
I say that because that's all they considered him to be just a
Galilean Carpenter and his friends.
Now, it says, they came with lanterns and torches.
I read one commentator that said that during The time of the
Passover in that area, it would have been a full moon now
because of that it would have lit up the skies and they would
have been able to see where they were going.
In other words, they did not need a lantern or a torch to
find the way to navigate their way to the Garden of Gethsemane.
So, why did they have? Why they have lanterns and
torches, I'll tell you why. I think, I think they had
lanterns and torches because they thought they were going to
have to search every nook and cranny that Jesus would be
somewhere coward, somewhere, hiding somewhere, and all these
men were coming and Judas is out in front and they had to take
these torches and lanterns and find him somewhere because he
was hiding, you know, the irony here.
The irony, is that came with torches searching for the light
of the world. They came with swords searching
for the Prince of Peace. What an insult, what a cruel
misinterpretation of Jesus. Who he was and Judas is out in
front. And what does he do when he
arrives? Well, we look to the other
gospels and we find out about the kiss.
I got to make a point about the kiss, Mark chapter 15, listen to
this or 14. Mark chapter 14 in verse 44.
Here is the deal they set up watch this.
Now here's betrayer had given them a signal saying, whomever I
kiss. He is the one take him and lead
him away safely. Now, now, the deal was I'm going
to go and I'm going to kiss Jesus.
And that's what the word is in a singular fashion.
A term of welcome and loved and I'm going to term of greeting
and I'm going to give him one little kiss.
That's what the word means on the cheek as it were.
Now we don't go around kissing everybody today.
We don't do that. Now I am Italian and some of my
Italian relatives kiss, both cheeks and all that.
I've never done that. I have no no intention to ever
play. I'm doing that.
I'm just going to stick my hand out to shake your hand.
Hug your neck. That's it.
Here's the deal. Judas was going to use a term of
love and respect and honor of a friend in a greeting.
In a friendly greeting, whoever I kiss that's him.
Lay hold of him and take him away.
But look at verse 45, that's not what happened.
Verse 45 and as soon as he had come immediately, he went up to
him and said Rabbi Rabbi and kissed him that word kissed in.
Verse 45 is not the word kiss and verse 44.
In verse 45, it is a magnified verb of the word to kiss.
In other words, this terrible vile traitor.
Went up to the Lord and kissed him repeatedly.
What a terrible thing? And he kissed him repeatedly.
What? A devilish refinement of a kiss
and nowhere else. Can you find the disciples
kissed coupled with the traitors sign?
Now look at the next verse and verse 4 Jesus.
Therefore knowing all things that would come upon him went
forward. Now please understand, this is
Jesus understanding everything that was going to happen.
He's understanding all that's going to be and because he knew
what was going to happen. Happen.
He went forward, in fact, in Chapter 13 of John and verse 18.
Jesus says he that eats bread with me has lifted up his heel
Against Me. Jesus knew that Judas would
betray him. This is humble willing
sacrifice, all right? Jesus initiated the whole thing.
Now, if you put the whole thing together, we might say that the
kiss came first, we might say, the kiss came first, maybe it
did. But did you know that nothing
happened until what Jesus does? Does next?
If you put all the accounts together, it may be that the
devilish kiss came first. But nothing happened until Jesus
did this. He says, Whom are you seeking?
That's when things were going to happen, that's when things began
to happen. Who are you seeking?
He went out the gate, they were coming to meet him.
He had seen them all the way. He saw Judas, put the whole
thing together. He had seen them all come out,
the gate down the hill, back up the hill and he walks right out
to meet them. This is majestic boldness.
This is courage that the Lord had set forth as he went to the
cross. And that brings us to verse 5
and that covers the next point, which is Is not only Supreme
courage, but also supreme power now.
Perhaps the kiss came first but nothing happened until Jesus
says, who are you seeking? Watch What Happens Next in verse
5, they answered him. Jesus of Nazareth and Jesus
said, I am in the original just as I am, I am now.
Watch this in verse 6, W. What happens?
Look at the power of Jesus Watch What Happens and then when he
said to them, I am They drew back and they fell to the ground
now. Have you ever wondered why
Judas? It says that Judas was out in
front of the whole thing? I think Judas, is there to prove
to Judas that he has no power at all.
He is nothing but a vile traitor, and the Lord was
totally in control. The Lord was laying down his
life. Nobody takes it from him now,
have you ever wondered why they all fell to the ground?
I actually read two commentators and this is what they said, I
don't get it one commentator said this is what happened.
Now picture this picture. This got about 500 of these
soldiers there 500 in the Roman cohort and one commentator said
when they fail this is what happened.
You see the first guy just kind of stumbled back a little bit
and they were kind of lined up really close to each other.
So the first guy kind of stumbled into the second guy
pretty soon he knocked into the third guy.
And pretty soon as it were all 500, they just kind of like
dominoes tipped each other over in the awful.
Yeah, really. That's what we're going with.
You don't think a soldier knew how to stand on his own two
feet. Here's another commentator, you
know, he said, oh, they thought they were going to have to
really search for Jesus, but when they found him, they were
so surprised. They just fainted back soldiers,
really? I'm going to tell you why they
fell folks. They fell because of what he
said. They fell to the ground because
of what Jesus said, and this is supreme power.
Jesus said, who are you looking for?
They said, Jesus of Nazareth. He said I am and they all fell.
Look at the power, the power of Jesus.
He said I am and in the very presence, they all fell.
You know, the Bible says that God created the world by what
created the World by his word. In fact, the Bible says God
would say let there be light, and there was light, God said,
let there be this and there was that all right, when Jesus
Christ comes in Judgment, at the End of Time, the Bible says, he
has a sharp sword. Where's the sharp sword?
Coming out of his mouth. You see, it's the word of God.
That's powerful. It's the word of God that would
judge, man. It's the word of God that will
condemn, man. It's the word of God that is
incisive and it comes out of his mouth.
This mob that was there just got a little taste of judgment
power. Supreme power.
Jesus says, who are you looking forward?
They said Jesus of Nazareth. He said I am he, our I am and
they fell to the ground that leads us to our third point.
And that is, we find Find another preeminent feature in
the arrest of Jesus. You know what?
We see. We see Supreme love.
Supreme love, you know, when Jesus anticipated the cross, he
was always concerned about his disciples always, they're
constantly on his mind, we see the selflessness of Jesus, we
see the endless love for his own.
In fact, in marks account and Mark 15 when he was praying to
his father, if it be possible, let this cup pass from me but
not my will. But thine be done three times.
The prayer was Dated, and when he does that, he checks on those
disciples. Now I got to ask you Don't you
think that Jesus was pretty busy just now?
He was about to go and bear the sins of the world on the cross.
I think he's pretty busy. But he was concerned about his
disciples Watch, What Happens. They've already asked the
question once he already asked a question once, who you looking
for? They said, Jesus of Nazareth.
He said I'm he and they all fall down and then verse 7 and then
he asked him again. Who are you seeking?
And they said, Jesus of Nazareth now.
Little side point here. Wouldn't you think you'd be
impressed if Jesus said I am? And the power was so great that
you as a soldier fell to the ground in his power Dutch, think
you'd be impressed by that. But they're unfazed.
They fall down. They get back up there, unfazed,
the Lord asks him again. Who you looking for?
They're unfazed. They just said, well, it's just
Jesus of Nazareth and they answer it again.
Now, I got to thinking about this, you know.
Sometimes we wonder about people.
You preach the gospel. They hear about what the Lord
has done for their sins, they learn about salvation, they
learn about Kevin, they learn about having a better life after
this life. They learn about all of that and
you would think that they would be moved to make a decision to
obey the Lord, but they're unfazed, and they just kind of
walked right out the back door again, that's nothing new
member. When Paul was talking to Felix
the governor Felix, he reasoned with him of righteousness
Temperance and judgment to come. What happened to Felix?
He trembled, then he said go thy way for now.
And when I have a more convenient season, And I will
call for thee unfazed. Remember 911.
I remember exactly where I was. I remember exactly the time it
was. I remember in California.
The sun wasn't up yet. When I where I was I remember
all of that when that happened, I also remember how people
change for just a little while, people started being drawn to
their Bibles and sometimes that happens with tragedy, people are
drawn to God in tragedy. But then in a period of time
whatever we just go back, we just go back and be unfazed.
These men were unfazed, folks. So why did Jesus ask twice?
Watch this supreme love. Why did he ask twice here it is
verse 8. Jesus answered I have told you
that I am he therefore if you seek me, let these go their way.
Oh, the Lord was so brilliant. He was so brilliant.
He repeats the order to them. And by the way, let me ask you
who looks like they're really in control.
He said, who you looking for? He made the initiative, he went
out to them, he knowing everything, orchestrated, all of
it, set it all in motion, we're looking for Jesus of Nazareth.
I Am All Fall Down back up again.
Who are you looking for? Jesus of Nazareth, then.
Guess what? Jesus does?
He's not making a suggestion. He is commanding them.
He said, if you're looking for me, I have already told you that
I am he? So let them go.
Let him go. Totally in control, what a
powerful concept, you know, Jesus is not the kind of
Shepherd who rescues a lamb after.
It's half eaten by the wolf. In John chapter 10 and verse 12,
listen to this. But the hireling, he who is not
the shepherd one, who does not own, the Sheep sees the wolf
coming, and he leaves the sheep and flees, and the Wolf catches,
the sheep and scatters them. This is Jesus referring to
himself as the shepherd and he describes the hireling.
Now, look at verse 13. The hireling flees because he is
a hireling and does not care about the shape.
Watch this verse 14, but But I am the Good Shepherd and I know
my sheep and I am known by my own verse 15 as the father knows
me even. So I know the father and I lay
down my life for my sheep. Now a couple things we have to
say, I Think Jesus knew that they would not be able to handle
such a persecution or they wouldn't be able to handle
having them come. How many times did Jesus say to
them? Oh, ye of little faith.
They had faith. But they didn't have enough but
there's so much more there's so much more Jesus needed the
disciples to go forth and preach the gospel.
In fact, the Bible says, in the book of Acts, they did just that
those disciples literally turned the world upside down preaching
the gospel. Jesus knew he needed them, but
he protected them in every way. You know, the lord always has
time for his own. He always has time for his own.
The Lord is always there for us. And when you think about your
life, let me just say this, we, the Lord doesn't leave us.
Have you ever heard somebody say where was The Lord?
When this terrible thing happened in my life?
I like what one preacher said? One time.
Well I'll tell you where he was when your son died.
He was the same place that he was when his son died.
Folks, the Lord doesn't leave our side.
We leave him. We leave the Lord and when we
leave the Lord, we are away from the Lord.
But if we are doing what is right, the Lord will never leave
our side. Even if we have terrible things
that come our way, Listen to This Promise 1st Corinthians
10:13. No temptation has overtaken, you
such as is common to man, but God is faithful who will not
allow you to be tempted beyond what you are able.
And with the Temptation will also make a way of Escape, that
you may be able to bear it. But folks, we can't do it on our
own. We can't do it on our own.
Look at this. Jesus says, let them go that the
saying might be fulfilled, which he spoke of those.
You gave me. I have lost none.
He protected them all. What about Peter?
What about what did Peter do in
verse 10? Impulsive Peter, Simon, Peter
having a sword drew it and struck the high priests servant
and cut off his right ear and the servants name was malchus
now, just a little freebie here, little freebie, I don't think
Peter was trying to be a great swordsman and I don't think he
was. So, So skilled that he intended
on cutting off Mal khizr. So he just aimed really closely
and just slit. Sliced it off like that.
I think he was swinging for the cheap seats.
I think he was swinging with that sword to cut his head off.
And he cut off his ear Peter decides to do it on his own.
You can't do it on your own. You can't do it on your own.
Can't do it your own way. You can't do it that way.
Now that brings us to our final Point as we draw a remarks to a
close. All this happens.
Who are you seeking? Jesus of Nazareth, they answered
twice. He said, then if you are looking
for me, I've already told you that I am.
He didn't let these go why that? It might be fulfilled, which we
spoke. All those that you gave me is
talking to his father, I have lost none, Simon, Peter cuts
off, Mal kazeer, Jesus puts it right back on.
Now one final thing. May the Lord shows a fourth
preeminent feature and that is supreme obedience.
Look at verse 11, then Jesus said to Peter, put your sword
into the sheath. Shall I not drink the cup?
Which my father has given me. I'll tell you people in the
world. Don't like the word obedience.
People don't like that word. Don't do that.
People also don't like this word submission.
And the reason that people don't like the word submission is
because people misunderstand what it means.
Submission and obedience is not a term of weakness.
It is the ultimate term of strength.
It is something willful. It's not somebody putting you in
your place. It is something that is willful.
You Are by strength submitting yourself in obedience to God and
incidentally, in the marriage relationship, I'll just say this
to when a wife would be in submission to her.
A husband that is the ultimate ultimate Act of strength, not
weakness, not less than it's an act of strength, and it's
willful active, obedience. The Lord set the stage.
He said to Peter, put that thing away, shall I?
Not drink the cup? Which my father has given me,
all right? Jesus paid a price, he didn't
know. Because we had a debt, we
couldn't pay. And yet sometimes people today
are so unfazed. Unfazed by What the Lord Has
Done. What do we learn in these
verses, in the Garden of Gethsemane, we learn these
things right here. We learned number one, supreme
courage, Jesus went forward, he orchestrated the whole thing, he
set the whole thing into motion, he knew that's exactly where
Judas would take that mob. And so he went right there and
act of Courage. He's so showed supreme power, he
said, who you looking for? They said Jesus of Nazareth.
He said I am And all five hundred.
Who else is there fell down. What else do we learn?
Supreme love. He said the second time who you
looking for? They said Jesus of Nazareth.
He said I already told you it was me.
Here I am let them go. And finally Supreme obedience.
Folks, he drank the cup to the bottom. and we are so thankful
and we are so grateful because now we have the hope of
everlasting life, I'll close with this final remark.
The lord always has time for you.
How much time do you have for the Lord?
He always has time for us. How much time in our life do we
have for him? How much time have we devoted to
serving him? How much time have we devoted to
worshipping him when the doors are open?
How much time?
