The Exceptional Example of Jesus

When Jesus was arrested in the Garden, Peter pulled out a sword and made a weak attempt at protecting Jesus. Jesus rebuked him by saying, “All who take the sword will perish by the sword.” As the apostle reflected on that moment, Peter understood the way Jesus responded to the suffering of His passion was an example for us to follow. How do we follow this example in a world where it feels more right to fight against injustice than to follow the example of Jesus? (Matthew 26.47-56) May 2, 2021.
