Darkness Descends, Luke 23:26-56 NT S1:E106

Blind Unbelief, II Kings 7-8 OT S1:E204

Those Who Are With Us... II Kings 6, OT S1:E203

Because He Loves You, Luke 23:1-25 NT S1:E105

Elisha, Mighty Type of Christ! II Kings 3-4 OT S1:E201

Bitterness of Betrayal, Luke 22:35-73 NT S1:E104

One could argue that the betrayal of Peter stung the Lord worse than the betrayal of Judas. Watching Jesus be betrayed by His closest friends gives us opportunity to reflect on how we have betrayed Him. Despite His betrayal, Jesus carried His burden faithfully on to the cross.
