Welcome to Day 2179 of Wisdom-Trek, and thank you for joining me. This is Guthrie Chamberlain, Your Guide to Wisdom The Gospel of John – 37 – Truth on Trial – Daily Wisdom Putnam Church Message – 10/30/2022 The Gospel of John – Part 5: Vindication Of The Word – Truth On Trial   Today we continue our series on the Good News according to John the Apostle. Last week, Jesus continued His prayer for all believers from that day forward until Christ returns to earth to restore God’s kingdom, the Global Eden. In John 17:24, Jesus said,  24 “Father, I want those you have given me to be with me where I am, and to see my glory, the glory you have given me because you loved me before the creation of the world. Our scripture for today is John 18:1-27, starting on page 1681 in the Pew Bible. According to John the Apostle, we begin the Good News's final significant segment, ‘Vindication of the Word.’ We see Jesus, the truth made flesh, Enduring Injustice With Grace in a message titled ‘Truth on Trial.’  Jesus Arrested 18 When he had finished praying, Jesus left with his disciples and crossed the Kidron Valley. On the other side there was a garden, and he and his disciples went into it. 2 Now Judas, who betrayed him, knew the place, because Jesus had often met there with his disciples. 3 So Judas came to the garden, guiding a detachment of soldiers and some officials from the chief priests and the Pharisees. They were carrying torches, lanterns and weapons. 4 Jesus, knowing all that was going to happen to him, went out and asked them, “Who is it you want?” 5 “Jesus of Nazareth,” they replied. “I am he,” Jesus said.

If you are looking for me, then let these men go.” 9 This happened so that the words he had spoken would be fulfilled: “I have not lost one of those you gave me.”[a] 10 Then Simon Peter, who had a sword, drew it and struck the high priest’s servant, cutting off his right ear. (The servant’s name was Malchus.) 11 Jesus commanded Peter, “Put your sword away! Shall I not drink the cup the Father has given me?” 12 Then the detachment of soldiers with its commander and the Jewish officials arrested Jesus. They bound him 13 and brought him first to Annas, who was the father-in-law of Caiaphas, the high priest that year. 14...
