Good Friday | John 18:1-11
John 18:1-11
On the night of His betrayal, Jesus steps forward from the shadows to meet those sent to arrest Him. Soldiers come expecting a criminal, armed with weapons and torches. Yet, it is Jesus who takes control, asking, “Whom do you seek?” His declaration—“I am”—briefly reveals His power, causing them to fall to the ground in awe.
Judas and the soldiers seek a revolutionary, Peter fights to defend a king, but Jesus stands as the willing sacrifice. “Shall I not drink the cup the Father has given me?” He asks, making it clear: this is no accident. Jesus is on a mission to the cross, to take the cup of wrath for the sake of others. Even in the chaos, He protects His disciples and heals the wounded, revealing His heart of grace.
This Good Friday, whom do you seek? The answer stands before us: Jesus, the crucified one, who came to save.
