  1. controlled chaos

  2. John 18:1-11

  3. I. Jesus is in control

  4. A. He is in control over the PLACES

  5. (Joh 18:1-3) When Jesus had spoken these words, he went forth with his disciples over the brook Cedron, where was a garden, into the which he entered, and his disciples. And Judas also, which betrayed him, knew the place: for Jesus ofttimes resorted thither with his disciples. Judas then, having received a band of men and officersfrom the chief priests and Pharisees, cometh thither with lanterns and torches and weapons.

  6. 1.Why would he leave the comfort of the upper room?

  7. (Luk 21:37) And in the day time he was teaching in the temple; and at night he went out, and abode in the mount that is called the mount of Olives.

  8. (Mat 21:8-10) And a very great multitude spread their garments in the way; others cut down branches from the trees, and strawed them in the way. And the multitudes that went before, and that followed, cried, saying, Hosanna to the Son of David: Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord; Hosanna in the highest. And when he was come into Jerusalem, all the city was moved, saying, Who is this?

  9. 2. How many people are coming to get him?

  10. “A band of men” : A Roman military cohort; also a squad of 600 or 6 centurion (1/10 of a Legion)

  11. Pontius Pilatus

  12. B. He is in control over the PEOPLE

  13. (Joh 18:4-7) Jesus therefore, knowing all things that should come upon him, went forth, and said unto them, Whom seek ye? They answered him, Jesus of Nazareth. Jesus saith unto them, I am he. And Judas also, which betrayed him, stood with them. As soon then as he had said unto them, I amhe, they went backward, and fell to the ground. Then asked he them again, Whom seek ye? And they said, Jesus of Nazareth.

  14. C. He is in control over the PUPILS

  15. (Joh 18:8-10) Jesus answered, I have told you that I am he: if therefore ye seek me, let these go their way: That the saying might be fulfilled, which he spake, Of them which thou gavest me have I lost none. Then Simon Peter having a sword drew it, and smote the high priest's servant, and cut off his right ear. The servant's name was Malchus.

  16. 1.Is Peter out of control?

  17. (2Co 12:8-10) For this thing I besought the Lord thrice, that it might depart from me. And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me. Therefore I take pleasure in infirmities, in reproaches, in necessities, in persecutions, in distresses for Christ's sake: for when I am weak, then am I strong.

  18. (Pro 3:5) Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. (Pro 3:6) In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.

  19. “God helps them that help themselves”

  20. Benjamin Franklin “God helps them that help themselves” Some attribute this quote to Ben Franklin printed in Poor Richard’s Almanac in 1757

  21. 2.Did Peter accomplish what he sought to do?

  22. D. He is in control over the PROBLEMS

  23. (Joh 18:10) Then Simon Peter having a sword drew it, and smote the high priest's servant, and cut off his right ear. The servant's name was Malchus. (Joh 18:11) Then said Jesus unto Peter, Put up thy sword into the sheath: the cup which my Father hath given me, shall I not drink it?

  24. (Luk 22:50) And one of them smote the servant of the high priest, and cut off his right ear. (Luk 22:51) And Jesus answered and said, Suffer ye thus far. And he touched his ear, and healed him.

  25. I am under control only when I become…

  26. (Php 1:6) Being confident of this very thing, that he which hath begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ:

  27. (Heb 12:2) Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God.

  28. (2Ti 1:12) For the which cause I also suffer these things: nevertheless I am not ashamed: for I know whom I have believed, and am persuaded that he is able to keep that which I have committed unto him against that day.
