Today we read John 18:1-27, Jesus is arrested in the hour appointed by the Father, gives Himself willingly into the hands of His enemies, and stands firm in open confession while Peter, full of weakness, denies that he knows Him.

"Reading the Gospels Together” is a journey through the Four Gospels, following Cornelis De Graaf’s Promise and Deliverance framework. Week by week, it traces how God’s covenant promises are fulfilled in Jesus Christ—the Servant‑King, the Son of God, and the Savior for all people
