After praying for them in the Upper Room, Jesus takes his disciples across the Kidron Valley into the Garden of Gethsemane. It was a secret place where Jesus often prayed with them. As the bright moonlight of Passover cast shadows through the olive trees, Judas brought a company of soldiers and religious officials, grasping lanterns and torches, to find Jesus. He knew where to look. The armed men moved quickly to overpower the disciples. But instead of running away, Jesus walked up and asked who they're seeking. They said, "Jesus of Nazareth." Jesus declared, "I am he." They think they're looking for a human, but find they're walking in the garden with God. The same words that God spoke to Moses from a burning bush knocked burly soldiers to the ground. Jesus is about to be imprisoned. Before he surrendered himself, he ordered his disciples released. Then, suddenly, to prove his allegiance to Jesus, Peter attacked Malchus, the servant of the high priest. This is how the world works: swords drawn, a fight to the death. Everyone facing danger fights or flees, but Jesus breaks expectations. He saw the arrest as a divine gift. "Am I not to drink the cup the Father has given me?" The temptation of spiritual leadership is to use power for your own benefit. Whether it's arresting Jesus or fighting to free him, we're willing to kill to defend what's ours. No other founder of a world religion accepts defeat like this. A crowd came to seize Jesus. They found an unarmed man ready to surrender.
