Knife
Scripture Passage: Luke
22:47-51
Judas betrayed Jesus with a kiss. Do you pretend to show
an act of love to people while causing them harm? When
Peter cut off the slave's ear, Jesus neither supported the
use of force nor wanted Peter to defend Him. Just like
Peter's action, our human effort has little or no effect on
our enemies. Jesus was willing to suffer and die for our sins
and Christians may face the enemy's hour and the powers of
darkness.
Questions:
1. What did Peter do?
He cut off the High Priest's slave's
ear.
2. What did Jesus do?
He healed the slave.
3. How did Jesus show His real love for
us?
He suffered and died
for our sins.
Memory verse: Romans
5:8
But God showed his great love for us by sending Christ to die for us while we were still sinners. (NLT)
