The idea of surrender as a Christian can be offensive to people who don’t understand it. It sounds like giving up.  It sounds weak and desperate. It can cause those who are willing to be brave and bold to think that there is no place for them in following Jesus. But Jesus’ surrender showed us that yielding does not need to have anything to do with powerlessness. It can come from tremendous power and strength. The call to give our lives up is not one that requires us to believe that we have no ability to do anything else.  In fact, it actually asks us to choose it in spite of the fact that there are many other things we can do. Jesus’ example (and Peter’s) on the night of the betrayal brings our ‘One Night” series to a close with a look at these ideas.
