 Jesus is Arrested

As the Gospel writer tells us of Jesus’ arrest in the Garden of Gethsemane, we learn that Jesus could have easily over-powered the soldiers and avoided arrest. But He did not do so. He willingly stepped forward fully knowing all that was ahead for Him. The Son of Man came not to be served but to serve and to give His life as a ransm for many. When Jesus submitted to the authorities, the disciples fled. The lesson here for us is simply seen in the willingness of our Savior to die for us even though we so often flee from Him.
