When All is Said And All You Need is Jesus

The Betrayal of the Son of Man

The Son of Man - Jesus favorite title for himself

Daniel 7:13-14 “13 I continued watching in the night visions, and suddenly one like a son of man was coming with the clouds of heaven. He approached the Ancient of Days and was escorted before him. 14 He was given dominion and glory and a kingdom, so that those of every people, nation, and language should serve him. His dominion is an everlasting dominion that will not pass away, and his kingdom is one that will not be destroyed.”

Judas- Judas Iscariot - One of The Twelve

John 6:66, 70–71 “70 Jesus replied to them, “Didn’t I choose you, the Twelve? Yet one of you is a devil.” 71 He was referring to Judas, Simon Iscariot’s son, one of the Twelve, because he was going to betray him.”

The one in charge of the money bag.

Matt 27:4 “I have sinned by betraying innocent blood,” he said. “What’s that to us?” they said. “See to it yourself!”

Matthew 27:4 CSB

4 “I have sinned by betraying innocent blood,” he said. “What’s that to us?” they said. “See to it yourself!”

Betrayed with a Kiss -

Mt 26:50 “50 “Friend,” Jesus asked him, “why have you come?” Then they came up, took hold of Jesus, and arrested him.”

John 18:10–11 “10 Then Simon Peter, who had a sword, drew it, struck the high priest’s servant, and cut off his right ear. (The servant’s name was Malchus.) 11 At that, Jesus said to Peter, “Put your sword away! Am I not to drink the cup the Father has given me?””

Proverbs 27:6 “6 The wounds of a friend are trustworthy, but the kisses of an enemy are excessive.”

Can he be faulted for his betrayal?

They appear to uphold God’s will

Satan’s evil influence,

Judas’ human responsibility

Unless we keep a strict watch, we shall be betrayed into the hands of our spiritual enemies.

John Owen

628 A man may betray Jesus Christ by speaking too many words, and he may betray him through keeping his mouth shut.

Oswald Chambers

To attempt to preach Christ without His cross, is to betray Him with a kiss.

Charles Spurgeon

Those with Swords in Hand

The Mob- Over 1,000

600 roman Soldiers

Swords, and clubs

Peter Struck his ear

He was really good with the sword or really bad

Jesus Word was a Sword that Struck them all down

John 18:5-9

5 “Jesus of Nazareth,” they answered.“I am he,” Jesus told them.Judas, who betrayed him, was also standing with them. 6 When Jesus told them, “I am he,” they stepped back and fell to the ground.7 Then he asked them again, “Who is it that you’re seeking?”“Jesus of Nazareth,” they said.8 “I told you I am he,” Jesus replied. “So if you’re looking for me, let these men go.” 9 This was to fulfill the words he had said: “I have not lost one of those you have given me.”

Swords

In the Garden-

Gen:3:24 He drove the man out and stationed the cherubim and the flaming, whirling sword east of the garden of Eden to guard the way to the tree of life.

Ephesians 6:7 “7 Serve with a good attitude, as to the Lord and not to people,”

Heb 4:12 “12 For the word of God is living and effective and sharper than any double-edged sword, penetrating as far as the separation of soul and spirit, joints and marrow. It is able to judge the thoughts and intentions of the heart.”

The One who was Stripped Naked and Ran

Was it Mark?

Alfred Hitchcock - Puts Himself in the movie - Stan Lee- Pops Up in the Marvel Films

The House of the Last Supper

The House of Acts 1:13 “13 When they arrived, they went to the room upstairs where they were staying: Peter, John, James, Andrew, Philip, Thomas, Bartholomew, Matthew, James the son of Alphaeus, Simon the Zealot, and Judas the son of James.”

Amos 2:16 “16 Even the most courageous of the warriors will flee naked on that day— this is the Lord’s declaration.”

It was just Jesus- This is showing us When All is Said And All You Need is Jesus.

The Garden - Adam and Eve Were Naked and felt shame

God Clothed Them

We are Naked and Afraid

This brings us back to that point and our understadning that all we have is given to us by Gods Grace

He took their shame and guilt away. He forgave them and allowed them to live.

His Grace did that!

The Son of Man - Jesus the Messiah is now being led like a sheep to the slouteghter - To provide for you and I a garment of His rightousness to present us before God that Father without Guilt or Shame for Our Sin.

That is Grace in Action

God Riches At Christs Expense

Bonhoeffer

The Cost of Discipleship Bonhoeffer writes, “Cheap grace is the preaching of forgiveness without requiring repentance, baptism without church discipline, communion without confession, absolution without personal confession. Cheap grace is grace without discipleship, grace without the cross, grace without Jesus Christ, living and incarnate.”1

James Montgomery Boice

You can saty as you are with your forgiveness - it take now realy thought to the pirce paid for your sin.

Costly Grace confronts us as a gracious call to follow Jesus, it comes as a word of forgiveness to the broken spirit and the contrite heart. It is costly because it compels a man to submit to the yoke of Christ and follow him; it is grace because Jesus says:My yoke is easy and my burden light.

While God common grace is experienced by all his saving grace is only experienced by those who put their faith in Jesus.
