Jesus was in control and not intimidated

Judas betrayed Jesus for money but Jesus was always in control. He knew what was going to happen and embraced it. He was not a helpless victim. In this passage we have the use of the words ‘I Am’ showing that Jesus is revealed as both God and man.

At the arrest, Peter decided to take matters into his own hands (Verse 10) then later is intimidated and denies 3 times that he knew Jesus. He didn’t realize that Jesus had to die in order to accomplish hid mission.

In all of this Jesus is never presented as a victim but as someone who is in control. When the cock crowed 3 times it was a reminder that Jesus had predicted Peter’s denials and knew all the outcomes. He is truly a Saviour who is worth believing.
