We will be considering the moment of crisis when Jesus was arrested. Here we see something of the nature of spiritual warfare, which the disciples are ill-prepared for. We need to keep our eyes fixed on Jesus to remember his great victory and to learn from him how to fight the battle of faith. The text is Mt 26:47-56.
We will consider these four points:
1. The hypocrisy of Judas and the chief priests.
2. The impetuousness of Peter.
3. The “faith” of Jesus.
4. The application to us.
