Day 36 - Jesus’ Final Days – The Arrest

Jesus, knowing all that was going to happen to him, went out and asked them, “Who is it you want?” “Jesus of Nazareth,” they replied. “I am he,” Jesus said. (And Judas the traitor was standing there with them.) When Jesus said, “I am he,” they drew back and fell to the ground. - John 18: 4-6

Today we invite you to read John 18:3-12, where Jesus was betrayed by one of His own disciples and arrested by the religious leaders. Jesus knew what was going to happen and surrendered Himself willingly. Instead of responding with anger and aggression, Jesus responded in peace and love. He gave us a beautiful example of what it means to show love for our enemies. Would we have done the same? Take time to reflect on these verses and spend time with your Father.
