Mark 14:43-52
Jesus Is Betrayed and Arrested
43 And immediately, as he said this, Judas, one of the twelve disciples, arrived with a mob that was armed with swords and clubs. They had been sent out by the leading priests, the teachers of religious law, and the other leaders. 44 Judas had given them a prearranged signal: "You will know which one to arrest when I go over and give him the kiss of greeting. Then you can take him away under guard."
45 As soon as they arrived, Judas walked up to Jesus. "Teacher!" he exclaimed, and gave him the kiss. 46 Then the others grabbed Jesus and arrested him. 47 But someone pulled out a sword and slashed off an ear of the high priest's servant.
48 Jesus asked them, "Am I some dangerous criminal, that you come armed with swords and clubs to arrest me?  49 Why didn't you arrest me in the Temple? I was there teaching every day. But these things are happening to fulfill what the Scriptures say about me."  50 Meanwhile, all his disciples deserted him and ran away. 51 There was a young man following along behind, clothed only in a linen nightshirt. When the mob tried to grab him, 52 they tore off his clothes, but he escaped and ran away naked. (NLT)
All Scripture will be fulfilled and is being fulfilled right now. Everything is going according to God’s plan and will be fulfilled by the hand of God. Jesus was the fulfillment of the Law and Covenant that God set down before the foundation of the world just as He chose us before the foundation of the world.
The law was made to prepare the people for the coming of the Messiah so that they would have a beautiful relationship with Him. But the Pharisees ruined it by making the law more important than the relationship with the Messiah. They chose their perversion over the purity of the Savior.
God has always been and always will be about having a relationship with His children. A relationship based upon the heart and unconditional love.
