Quiet Time TAKEAWAY:
Character shows itself in who we protect, self or others.
My NOTES:
“A person’s character is not exposed in moments of convenience but in times of challenge and controversy.”
Dr. M. L. King paraphrased
Judas took a detachment of soldiers to betray Jesus:
“Yet, knowing all that was going to happen to him, (he) went out and asked them, “Who is it you want?”
John 18:4
Protecting his friends, Jesus said:
“If you are looking for me, then let these men go. … I have not lost one of those you gave me.”
John 18:8-9
I think the key here is that Jesus ‘went out’ to face the enemy – to protect his friends.
My TAKEAWAY:
Character shows itself in who we protect, self or others.
