Unarmed and Unafraid: The Arrest of Jesus

When a heavily armed mob of hundreds shows up in the middle of the night to arrest one unarmed teacher, it’s easy to assume the teacher is the one in danger. But if you look closely at the arrest of Jesus in the Garden of Gethsemane, you'll notice something surprising: everyone is terrified except Jesus. In this episode, we dive into the harmonized Gospel accounts of the night Jesus was betrayed. From Judas's kiss to Peter's swinging sword, the garden was full of panic. Yet, in the midst of the chaos, Jesus stood fearless. He wasn't a helpless victim; He was a sovereign King holding all the cards, demonstrating unbelievable power, radical protection for His friends, and a staggering amount of restraint.
