—Mark 14:46-52
by: Angie Osborn.
Jesus' ministry on earth was one of teaching and healing. He spent his days with the disciples, teaching them the truths of God. He taught in the temple courts, helping men and women to learn that God's way is the only way. He healed people who were sick. He drove demons from people in their grip. Jesus even brought people back from the dead. His life and ministry was one of love and peace. Yet, when the guards came to arrest him, they were armed like he was a common criminal. Then, to make matters worse, even his disciples deserted him. Jesus was alone. He alone had to be arrested and then die, to pay the price for our sins. He alone because only he, God's son, could pay for our sins.
