What happens when betrayal comes with a kiss? Join us as we explore the harrowing night of Jesus' arrest in the Garden of Gethsemane, unraveling the intense moments of chaos and calm as depicted in Luke 22. We'll draw a parallel to H.G. Wells' vision of a world in disarray and contrast it with Jesus' serene submission to His fate, despite Judas' treacherous kiss and the violent mob. Learn about the cultural and historical weight of this act of betrayal and the varied reactions of the disciples, religious leaders, and the crowd.

Witness Peter's daring act of cutting off Malchus' ear and the remarkable healing that followed—an event that underscores Jesus' divine nature. Delve into the profound significance of "the hour" of darkness and its pathway to eternal promise. We also contemplate the concept of a "divine timer" of suffering, reminding us that our trials are temporary within God's grand plan. Reflecting on the teachings of Paul and Peter, we discover how faith can endure any hardship, comforted by the assurance of Jesus' sovereignty and control over all events.
