A Pondering

When the soldiers come to arrest Jesus, he asks his accusers to let his disciples go. What does this interaction teach us about the coming death of Jesus?

A Prayer

Heavenly Father, I confess that in this story I stand with Judas and Peter, the Religious leaders and Rome. My sin is the reason that Jesus had to die. I thank you so much that Jesus willingly laid his life down for me, so that despite all of my sin I could go free. Amen.
