Betrayed But In Control (John 18:1-14)
Hey friends! As we gear up for Easter, we’re slowing down to soak in the final moments of Jesus’ life. Today, we’re diving into John 18—where Jesus is betrayed and arrested, yet still fully in control.
Today we’ll cover:
- Jesus isn’t a victim—He’s in charge. He willingly walks into this moment.
- Betrayal hurts, but God is bigger. Jesus knew it was coming and still loved Judas.
- God’s plan is always at work. Even Caiaphas’ scheming plays into it.
- Jesus’ kingdom isn’t about force. Peter’s sword wasn’t the move—surrender was.
Think About It:
- How do you react when life doesn’t go as planned?
- Where do you need to trust God’s timing instead of forcing things?
Challenge: Sit with this: Jesus faced betrayal, pain, and injustice—all for you. As we head toward Easter, reflect on what that means for your own faith journey.
See you next week as we keep walking through John 18!
