It turned out England were a threat to Ireland, but as I said earlier, the result of the rugby game doesn’t really matter! There are other far more serious threats, sometimes financial, sometime medical and sometimes relational. Sometimes you can feel the weight of the pressure. I cannot imagine the weight of the threat hanging over Jesus on that first Maundy Thursday, it was financial - he would lose everything, it was medical - intense physical pain leading to death, it was relational as he was betrayed, denied and abandoned. And yet despite it all He remained in complete control and used His power for the good of His disciples. You can read John 18:1-11 here and Isaiah 51:12-23 here and listen to the sermon recording to discover how Jesus’ power and care are a great comfort whatever we’re facing.
