We owe God our unconditional and thankful obedience. Anything short of this mocks the grace He has given us in Jesus Christ.
Jesus seeks forgiveness for those persecuting Him, showcasing His intercessory nature. He prayed specifically for the elect, not the world, emphasizing God’s grace in salvation.
In the events outside Gethsemane, Jesus reveals his true identity to the group sent to arrest him. Despite the large number of soldiers, Jesus surrenders willingly, demonstrating his control over the situation. This act fulfills the prophecy of Isaiah and emphasizes Jesus’s sacrifice for the elect of God.
