Arrest And Trials | John 18:1-14
Now that we've finished Jesus' upper room discourse, we begin moving into the climax of John's gospel. Jesus has prepared His disciples for His departure, and now things are about to get very real. In John 18, we see Jesus arrested, tried, and beaten. While the Jewish leaders think they are enacting justice for God, they are actually punishing the God they claim to serve. And while the Son of God is taking punishment from man's faulty justice system, He is moving towards the cross, where He will take the punishment we deserve and instead offer us incredible grace.
