Sermon Notes

We look at the arrest of Jesus after Judas betrayed him; handing him over to the chief priests, Pharisees, and soldiers. Here we see Peter, the only disciple mentioned to be brave enough to defend Jesus. Peter, one man, drew his sword against possibly a hundred or more. This same Peter would soon deny his master three times. The same Peter that was willing to die in Gethsemane with a sword in hand against a detachment of soldiers with weapons? The same Peter who preached boldly later at Pentecost bringing 3,000 converts into the kingdom of God? One in the same. Peter is a disciple that we see a lot in common with. He had many ups and downs.
