The Lord Jesus Christ Yield Himself, Voluntarily To The Suffering Of The Cross

John 18:2, The Lord often went to this Garden, by  the brook Cedron, with His disciples; So Judas one of the twelve disciples, that would betray Jesus; knew where to find Him. While He was speaking, Judas came with a great Multitude of Men, with lanterns and torches and weapons from the Chief priest and Pharisees.  Jesus knew all things, came for ford and said, whom seek ye? they said Jesus of Nazareth. Jesus said I Am He. As soon as Jesus said I am he they fell back word to the Ground]. Even His enemies cannot stand before the great I AM. Jesus is still in Charge. The saying was fulfilled; of those which thou gavest me have I lost none

John 18:10,Simon Peter drew his sword and smote the high priest’s servant, whose name was Malchus,  and cut off his right ear. Jesus said to Peter put your sword away. the cup which My Father give Me shall I not drink it]. The way of the Cross provides the way to glory and victory, not defeat and humiliation. The Lord Jesus Christ suffered to give us eternal life. Than the captain and officers bound the Lord and took Him to Annas, then to Caiaphas. Now Caiaphas was the one which gave counsel to the Jews, that it was expedient that one Man should die for the People.

John 18:20,After the Lord Jesus Christ was arrested, He was questioned by the High priest, about His disciples and His doctrine, Jesus said I spoke openly, to the world.I always taught in Synagogues and in the temple, I have said nothing in secret.He was also send to Pilate; who said to them, What accusation have you brought against this Man? If He was not a malefactor, we would not have brought Him to you. Pilot said, take him and judge Him yourself, according to your law. It is not lawful for us to put a Man to death: Signifying what death He should die.
