"Jesus,
knowing all that was going to happen to him, went out and asked
them, “Who is it you want?”
“I
am he,” Jesus said. (And Judas the traitor was standing there
with them.) When Jesus said, “I am he,” they drew
back and fell to the ground.
“Jesus
of Nazareth,” they said.
Jesus
answered, “I told you that I am he. If you are looking for me,
then let these men go.” This happened so that the words
he had spoken would be fulfilled: “I have not lost one of
those you gave me"
-John
18:4-9
The
real love of our Father through Jesus is revealed here. Along with
this Gospel, we can read the love of God through the verses below;
" For
God so loved the world that he gave his one and only
Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have
eternal life"-John 3:16
This
is how our Father gave us Jesus for our sins. The powers of the dark
always troubles and traps the Children of God. They doesn't like to
see Jesus in our heart. When we are in temptation, when we are in
trouble and when sufferings and disturbances overpower our life, let
us remember this altruistic life of Jesus.
Our
Jesus knows that, the powers of the dark are after us because they
want Jesus to be removed from our heart. In such stage we if are
closer to Him and holding Him in our heart, then, Jesus will stand
before us and will ask,
“Jesus
of Nazareth,” they said.
This
is the protection for us from our Jesus. This is how Jesus took the
cross of our sins and sufferings for us to save us and He is doing
the same now. We have to just believe in Him.
"
I am the resurrection and the life; he who believes in Me will live
even if he dies"
-John 11:25
Our
God protects us and will stand as a defense if we are having Him in
our Heart perfectly.
Prayer
Lord
Almighty teach us and help us to fill our hearts with You and your
love in truth. We know that you will cover us with your feather and
under your wings we will find refuge; your faithfulness will be
our shield and rampart(psalms 91:4).
Thank
you Lord, Thank you Jesus
Amen
