Jesus is arested

Does the bible say that only the good scholars have the right to tell us what it means. NO because this is one reason that the people in the middle ages. It was not right for the common man to have the bible in that time. God made his word to read and to understand not to just allow the Pastor/teacher to sell us what it means. It is the duty for the aveage Christian to know what it means and do what it said. I was told it is a pastors Job alone to say what the word means. It is not for you to read my blog and just accept it and it is not good to listen to a pastor and just accept his word with out your bible open and checking all he said in a sermon. So that is why I am going to keep adding my bible thinking to this site. I have a duty to and I believe I am called to. I also think you to are called. I am doing a journal and this is what this page is meant to be.

I want to get into the word and the time when Jesus is arrested. It has got be the saddest time in the life of Jesus.

Matt 26 47 And while He was still speaking, behold, Judas, one of the twelve, with a great multitude with swords and clubs, came from the chief priests and elders of the people.
48 Now His betrayer had given them a sign, saying, “Whomever I kiss, He is the One; seize Him.” 49 Immediately he went up to Jesus and said, “Greetings, Rabbi!” and kissed Him.
Jesus was not going to run from them so why did they have to bring all the weapons. In Mac he said there could have been a 300 people crowd. They had to have some of the Jewish leaders because they are the ones that have come to kill Jesus. So Judas is the one that had them come. It is predicted in the Old one of the 12 was going to kill Jesus. It was to say a inside job to take Jesus. I said that you ought to watch the Passion but I do not think it was as they say it was when they came to take him. Here is a list about the people and this event. 1 This action of arrest had no merit. Jesus never broke any law ever and never even sinned. 2 This is a mindless act. I do not think the Soldiers even have a clue about Jesus and they are just following orders. I do not recall the Police ever really interacting in the life of Jesus. Also what law of Rome has Jesus broke. So I place some of the people making the arrest as men taking orders from ther Jews. Also they are cowards and they took Jesus is secret. Why not take him at the open temple. They are cowards.
50 But Jesus said to him, “Friend, why have you come?”
This is one of the last things Judas would hear from Jesus. Jesus is never going to talk to judas and in the end Judas went to hell. What a sad thing this man has came to Jesus and now he is giving this man away that he followed and soon he is in death and hell. Jesus even to the end called Judas a friend but Judas is not going to help him in the end. I guess this is a good photo of free will?
Then they came and laid hands on Jesus and took Him. 51 And suddenly, one of those who were with Jesus stretched out his hand and drew his sword, struck the servant of the high priest, and cut off his ear.
52 But Jesus said to him, “Put your sword in its place, for all who take the sword will perish by the sword. 53 Or do you think that I cannot now pray to My Father, and He will provide Me with more than twelve legions of angels? 54 How then could the Scriptures be fulfilled, that it must happen thus?”
Peter jumps into this act and he wants to protect Jesus from this crowd. Peter does not have it register the fact yet that Jesus has to die. I have made this since the start. Jesus has said to them all this time and here it is and Peter does not get it. Peter is not going to have a good life for a bit. Lesson is the church is not ever going to grow in the battles or wars and matter of fact it makes us look bad when we have war inside the church. Jesus said will not tons of angels come and take me out of here. Jesus wanted to show he was serious about dieing and filling the death that he is going to die. Jesus is God to here with this because he had the power to kill all the people there but if he did then he is not going to fill the things God wants him to do.


55 In that hour Jesus said to the multitudes, “Have you come out, as against a robber, with swords and clubs to take Me? I sat daily with you, teaching in the temple, and you did not seize Me. 56 But all this was done that the Scriptures of the prophets might be fulfilled.”
Then all the disciples forsook Him and fled.[1]

I think that last statement is so true of man and it shows tons about the place. All his men on Jesus side boycott Jesus and Jesus is left to go and face the guard and death alone. So if you ever think you’re alone in this world Jesus knew how it felt and Jesus can be there to with you. Jesus is not into leaving you and forsaking even when we all leave him.
