All the Right Things for All the Wrong Reasons

Sermon Notes
This week, we continue on with our survey of Holy Week from the fourth gospel with the famous scene of Peter’s denial. To bridge the gap between last week’s text and this weeks; John’s Jesus leaves the disciples with some parting words and parting prayers that we call the ‘Farewell Discourse’. Jesus then leads eleven disciples to a garden across the Kidron Valley, and there meets up with the twelfth, Judas Iscariot (dun, dun, duuuun).
Questions to Ponder
– What do you think of Peter’s actions? Are they justifiable or understandable (from a certain point of view)? How are they treated in the narrative?
– What do you think of the Chief Priests’ actions? Are they justifiable or understandable (from a certain point of view)? ow are they treated in the narrative?
– What do you think of the United States’ actions? Are they justifiable or understandable (from a certain point of view)? How will they be treated by history?
