Part-6--The greatest week in the history of the Universe is before us. Are you ready to savor the wonders of the Lord Jesus Christ?
As we prepare for Palm Sunday, Maundy Thursday, Good Friday and Resurrection (Easter) Sunday here is the start of the classes I teach our students to prepare their hearts.
Why not make this the dearest, sweetest, most precious Passion Week of your life with us by taking our "PASSION WEEK EXPLORED" COURSE this week as we head towards RESURRECTION SUNDAY? This week we are teaching through the FINAL WEEK of the Life of Jesus on Earth. That week is usually called Passion Week.
The 300 students enrolled in this course are joining us from 12 countries, they are taking this virtual class to train them to be better servants of the Lord, ministers of the Gospel, and faithful leaders in Christ’s Church. We will be posting the top 30 lessons of the course.
Most of them are short, just 5-7 minutes long. Join us, walking with Jesus through His Passion and beyond. It is thrilling, and it is LIFE-CHANGING if you ask the Lord to give you ears to hear, and a heart to obey. This video is part of a playlist of all the individual lessons.
WHO DID THEY CRUCIFY? The One Crucified Had a Name Above All Names
As you turn to each passage and follow along as I read, look for the answer to these questions.
Question One: Who can make an entire army fall flat on their faces by just speaking His Name out loud? Only Someone with a Name above all names.
In John 18:1-11 a key to understanding what happened in Gethsemane is in the Greek word speira: translated as “detachment, band, cohort” in our Bibles.
Technically this term refers to what was 1/10 of a Roman Legion of 6,000, or 600 soldiers. It could also refer to an auxiliary that had: 760, foot soldiers, if they were joined with 240 mounted soldiers; but as a minimum, it would refer to at least 200 soldiers or guards that were armed with weapons (Matthew & Mark adds: “swords and clubs” ) and having oil lamps and torches.
So through the darkness, as Jesus is on His face, sweating blood, crying out as prayed, this crowd of hundreds comes walking and searching in the darkness, as if looking for an armed criminal. That is the setting of Gethsemane’s arrest scene here in John 18.
