Picture a branch.

If that branch is on the ground, it's dead.

A severed branch bears no fruit.

However, if that same branch is connected to a tree or vine, it's alive.

In John 15, Jesus says that the same is true of us.

Specifically, He tells us to 'abide' in Him (as a branch on a vine).

But what does the word 'abide' really mean?

That will be the focus of today's study.

John: What It Means To Abide In Christ

Peter said that he loved Jesus.

Peter said that he'd die for Jesus.

But on the night of Christ's betrayal, Peter denied Him three times.

So, what do we make of Peter's failure?

What do we make of his weakness?

And how did Christ respond?

That will be the focus of today's study in John 18.

John: The Three Denials Of Peter

Lanterns, torches and weapons.

The men who sought Jesus were heavily armed!

That's what rebels do - they arm themselves for battle.

Meanwhile, Jesus waited patiently.

In a sense, the events of John 18 are a microcosm of mankind's history.

Specifically, our history of rebellion against a loving and patient God.

We'll consider that rebellion (and Christ's response) in today's study of John 18.

John: The Betrayal And Arrest Of Jesus

You are not alone.

You have a divine 'intercessor.'

And when life gets hard, the Son pleads your case to His Father.

But what does He say? What does He ask for?

That will be the focus of today's study in John 17.
