Love Without Reserve

In John 18:1-14, we encounter several people, and we get to see through their eyes how they view Jesus. Judas has gifts without grace. Peter has zeal without understanding. Caiaphas speaks truth without faith. But at the center of the story stands Jesus Christ, who knows exactly what awaits Him and yet steps forward willingly to give Himself for His people. In this passage, we are reminded that Christianity is not merely about being around Jesus, serving Jesus, or knowing things about Jesus. It is about trusting Him, loving Him, and giving ourselves to the Savior who first gave Himself for us.
