THE GOSPEL OF MATTHEW
Part 72: Gethsemane |
|
|
The late-night quiet in Gethsemane came to an abrupt
end as the motley crew led by Judas arrived to arrest Jesus. The
traitor shamelessly greeted the God-man with a kiss to mark him for
the soldiers. The enforcers from the high priest experienced a dose
of supernatural power when they sought to confirm whether Jesus was
the man they wanted. The God-man’s verbal response was filled with
divine power that knocked them backwards to the ground. Peter was
carrying a sword and he struck out at Malchus, but the clumsy blow
only managed to cut off the man’s ear. Jesus immediately told Peter
to sheathe the sword because they were vastly outnumbered. Seeing
Jesus submit caused the apostles to run away in fear. The God-man
was alone. This was the opportunity Satan had been seeking and it
wasn’t going to be wasted as Jesus was about the face the greatest
challenge as God incarnate. |
