In the garden on the Mount of Olives, everything accelerates, prayer, betrayal, a sword drawn, an ear healed, and Jesus arrested in the dark. In this message from Luke 22:39–54, Tom walks us through the arrest of Jesus and the disciples’ desperate, confused response. When Peter swings the sword, Jesus stops him and heals the very man being used to arrest him. It’s a portrait of a Messiah whose power looks nothing like what anyone expected, and a call to trust his way even when it defies all logic.
