And Jesus said to them, “Have you come out as against a robber, with swords and clubs to capture me? Day after day I was with you in the temple teaching, and you did not seize me. But let the scriptures be fulfilled.” And they all forsook Him and fled. Mark 14: 48 – 50
Lord, first I have to clarify that it was not the chief priest that had his ear cut off but the slave of the chief priest.
This still must have been quite a picture with everyone coming at You with swords and clubs to capture You.
They had after all been listening to You and what You had to say and yet here they were to capture You with swords and clubs.
Lord it is because we know You as our Lord and Savior that we don’t question who You are. There is that transformation that happens within that brings us Your peace and Your presence that causes us to know. What a gift that is. It is greater than our own human understanding. Oh how I thank You.
Thank You Lord.
