主題：右耳不见了
Jezebel
------

Judas:
- Gave the kiss of respect to Jesus
- Strayed away from God
- Betray Jesus
- Compare himself with other disciples (jealousy, inferiority)
- Surrendered to Satan

Why did Judas stray away from Jesus? He used to be very close to Him. When you KNOW THAT you strayed away from God, it's when you come back to Him. But to do so, you have to forgive yourself first and have the courage to face Him. There's only 2 kinds of people: 1) Following God 2) In/of the world belonging to satan. When we push God away, satan is at the back waiting to tempt you. Don't be a Judas! :-) Don't walk to a point of no return, like him.

Peter:
- Forgot God
- Over-confident, thick-skinned, fearful
- Do rash and foolish things

At the moment when he went to chop off the man's ear, he had actually forgotten about God. He lacks communication with Jesus. It does not mean that if you're close to Jesus physically then, you're exceptionally holy. If you move by the flesh, you'll be punished. Violence can never solve spiritual problem. How do we face our daily problem and difficulties in life? When you struggle the most, it is also when you're closest to God, you DEPEND on him.

The man whose ear got chopped off:
- Ignorant
- Restless
- No goal
- Not far sighted
- YET NOT INNOCENT
- Leader? (standing in front)

He has no idea why is he arresting Jesus. Restless because he does not have a choice! It is his job to arrest people! He didn't know what's the point of arresting Jesus.

Jesus:
- Thinking and missing God
- Calm and peaceful
- Courageous enough to face reality
- Provide love (protective)
- Fearless
- God is with Him
- Connected to God
- In control of the whole situation
- Even performed a miracle in front of everyone (healing the man's ear)

Those people over there, they saw the miracle but they still wanted to arrest Jesus because their hearts are already hardened, hardened till it's lifeless. 'No one takes my life away, it's my choice to sacrifice myself. I have the rights to give and I have the rights to take it back.' he loves everyone till the end.

Weapon to fight off your enemies (satan): BEING CONNECTED WITH GOD ♥ :)
