Many of the biggest fights we have are ‘repeats’. We’ve already had
this fight numerous times, and each time the tempers get a little bit
hotter and the voices get a little bit louder. Somehow the key to
escaping the pattern is elusive and we find ourselves stuck in a cycle
that feels hopeless and unbreakable. Jesus finds Himself on the night
of His betrayal getting questioned about what He has been teaching.
Yet, the very reason He is there is BECAUSE of what He has been
teaching. So Jesus takes a different path than going backwards into a
battle of words or who said what. And in the middle of the process that
will bring His terrible death, He teaches us how to break free from the
vicious circles we find ourselves in with others!
