John 18:1-27 presents a powerful and painful moment in Jesus’ journey to the cross. It tells of His betrayal by Judas, His arrest, and Peter’s denial. In these events, we see the contrast between human weakness and Christ’s sovereign strength. Though darkness seems to triumph, Jesus remains in complete control, fulfilling the will of the Father. As we reflect on this passage, we will explore three key themes: the betrayal of Judas, the sovereignty of Jesus, and the denial of Peter. Each of these moments teaches us about human frailty but, more importantly, about Christ’s unshakable purpose in securing our salvation.
