The Arrest

At the scene of Jesus’ arrest, John paints a dramatic picture. Alistair Begg draws on John’s account to contrast the treacherous Judas with the majestic Messiah. Judas appeared to be a true disciple, but in the end revealed his hypocrisy. Jesus, on the other hand, demonstrated His glory through His boldness, devotion, and submission. Clearly, Jesus was prepared to drink the cup of wrath which for us became a cup of salvation.
