The power of Christ revealed in the Garden of Gethsemane Part1.
Matthew 26:51-53, 28:17-18, 1Pet 5:8,9, Ex 15:2-4, Rev 5:5
After his resurrection, the glorious Jesus received all authority. He told his disciples, my Father has given me all authority. This tells us that, there's no power left for the devil. The bible records, the devil goes round roaring like a lion, but he's not. The real lion is the glorious Jesus, the Lion of the tribe of Judah. He's the Lord of Host.
Also Jesus as a man had immense power that could have resisted his arrest on that night in the garden of Gethsemane. The 12 Legions of Angels that he talked about could over power even this world totally. But he chose to remained silent for our sake. His purpose was not to wage war but to save the world through his death. When one of the disciples tried to resist his arrest, he said if I needed any help I could have asked my Father to give me more than 12 Legions of Angels to come to my rescue.
The power of Jesus can't be denied. As we identify ourselves with him we will also be empowered. He gives us enough security. Our God is trustworthy for he is mighty in power. Shalom!
