“The oil pressed,
Blood poured out.
Love stepped forward.
In Him,
No doubts.”
“…He went out with His disciples across the Kidron Valley,
where there was a garden…
Judas having procured a band of soldiers…went there…
With lanterns and torches and weapons.
Jesus knowing all that would happen to Him, came forward and said to them, “Whom do you seek?” They answered him, “Jesus of Nazareth.”
Jesus said to them, “I AM”… they drew back and fell to the ground.” John 18:1-8 (ESV)
