Jesus and YOU John 18:1-11 The 18th chapter of John tells of the collision course of Judas, Peter, Annas, and Pilate with Jesus. But it could also be about the collision course of Jesus and YOU … for in one or more of these characters, you may see a reflection of yourself! I. Jesus and Judas A. Jesus went to the Garden of Gethsemane. B. Adam was in the Garden of Eden. 1. Adam tried to hide from God. 2. The 2nd Adam did not hide. II. Jesus and Annas C. Annas wanted to know about His disciples and His doctrine. D. His doctrine was no secret. III. Jesus and Peter E. Peter was cold. F. Many today have grown cold to spiritual things. IV. Jesus and Pilate G. "Did someone else tell thee concerning me?" H. "I find no fault in this man." Where do you fit in this story of Judas, Annas, Peter and Pilate? Are there changes YOU need to make? Don’t betray Jesus; don’t ignore His doctrine; don’t deny him and grow cold; and don’t try to wash your hands of the whole thing. Repent of your sin, confess your faith, obey Him in baptism, and live a faithful, active Christian life!
