The Arrest of Jesus
Dr. Sproul relates an event in his childhood when he had fear and links that fear to the moonlit Gethsemane. The garden was within the limits of Jerusalem for celebrating the Passover and Jesus knew that Judas would know to find Him there. Dr. Sproul explains the two groups Judas brought. One group consisted of Temple police and the second a detachment that he goes on to explain what comprised a detachment of Roman soldiers. Jesus once again answers when asked with the "I am He" phrase causing a remarkable reaction. Dr. Sproul concludes this section with a discussion on the active and passive obedience of Jesus.
This sermon is from the Lord’s Day pulpit ministry of R.C. Sproul at Saint Andrew’s Chapel near Orlando, Florida.
