WORD
4 Then Jesus, knowing all that would happen to him, came forward and said to them, “Whom do you seek?” 5 They answered him, “Jesus of Nazareth.” Jesus said to them, “I am he.”[a] Judas, who betrayed him, was standing with them.6 When Jesus[b] said to them, “I am he,” they drew back and fell to the ground.7 So he asked them again, “Whom do you seek?” And they said, “Jesus of Nazareth.” 8 Jesus answered, “I told you that I am he. So, if you seek me, let these men go.” -John 18:4-8
These verses show the time when Jesus was arrested. He came forward, didn’t hide, ensured the safety of His friends, not just during that time but for eternity. Jesus is the “I am He” and “I am willing”
Jesus is always more than what we expect Him to be. He is always more than we can imagine. He is in complete control from start to finish.
