God’s Way Wins | Easter Message | Matthew 26:50-54

Jesus came to the world to save us just like the prophecies said. But He didn’t do what people thought He would do. The Israelites expected a King who would act like an earthly king and fight and win battles the way the world fights. Instead, Jesus laid down his life. What looked like “losing” to the world was actually Jesus’ victory. On the night Jesus was betrayed, Peter took up a sword to stop Jesus from being taken, but Jesus told him to put it down. Just like Peter, we don’t want people to say bad things about Jesus, and it’s easy to want to fight the enemies of Christ the way the world fights. But we are to follow Christ’s example. We fight by spreading the good news of Jesus Christ with love and kindness. When we fight like the world fights, we lose. God’s way wins.
