My 11/6/16AM sermon, Betrayed, Tried, Denied from John 18:1-27 is now online. This sermon began our pointing to the end of John’s Gospel in what is known as the Passion Narrative. The Latin word for suffering is where we get our English word “passion” so theologians have used this term to describe the events of Jesus’s suffering. Specifically, this passage shows Jesus being betrayed by one of His disciples, being arrested and tried by the high priest, and being denied by one who promised he’d die for Him. So, the sufferings of Jesus were many as His hour had come and He willingly endured these for sinners like you and me, for the Father’s glory and out of love for us. I hope this sermon encourages you.
