Alastair's Adversaria

CHAPTER

Judas, the Son of Zeraiah, Betrays Jesus

Luke's gospel foregrounds the theme of prayer and presents us in an especially pronounced way with jesus as a man of prayer. By contrast, the disciples have fallen asleep, failing in the basic charge of wakefulness that he gave in the olivet discourse. This is where the power of satan's case is being pressed upon him, and where he must wrestle against it with every single sinew of his being. His sweat becomes like great drops of blood. We are to feel the sting of betrayal once more.
