Read John 18:1-12

“I told you that I am he,” Jesus said. “And since I am the one you want, let these others go.” … But Jesus said to Peter, “Put your sword back into its sheath. Shall I not drink from the cup of suffering the Father has given me?” - John 18:8, 11 (NLT)

As Jesus’ final hours draw near, he is still protecting his disciples, and still accepting, even embracing his Father’s plan for our salvation in spite of the cost to himself. We, too, should be willing to accept whatever task the Father calls us to do, even if it involves discomfort or even suffering. For we know we can endure it through the power of the Holy Spirit.
