Betrayed.
Arrested.
Bound.
This week, we dive back into our study of John and begin to see in John 18:1-14 how Jesus walks through one of the darkest nights of his life … and all of human history.
Yet, we need not think Him a victim of circumstances beyond His control. Rather, step after step, Jesus demonstrates His mastery over the place of His arrest, the soldiers themselves, and even assures the security of His disciples as He gives commands to the soldiers … and they obey Him … even after Peter takes a swing at Malchus’ ear 🤯
We are getting pumped to study this week’s text so that we might be reminded that He who was sovereign over this dark night is sovereign over every dark night and providence in our lives; so that what the enemy intends for evil, He intends for our good and His glory.
