12/13 Luke 22:35-39
Then Jesus asked them, “When I sent you out to preach the Good News and you did not have money, a traveler’s bag, or an extra pair of sandals, did you need anything?” “No,” they replied. 36 “But now,” he said, “take your money and a traveler’s bag. And if you don’t have a sword, sell your cloak and buy one! 37 For the time has come for this prophecy about me to be fulfilled: ‘He was counted among the rebels.’ Yes, everything written about me by the prophets will come true.” 38 “Look, Lord,” they replied, “we have two swords among us.” “That’s enough,” he said. 39 Then, accompanied by the disciples, Jesus left the upstairs room and went as usual to the Mount of Olives.
KNEW
Jesus knew what would happen on the Mount of Olives. He knew and still He went to die on the Cross for you. His death was personal, it was a powerful statement by the Lord God that He controlled life and death and it was a perfect finish and renewal of a perfect life-Jesus.
