As Jesus stands in the garden, he is fully aware of the impending betrayal and arrest. His knowledge of the future events does not deter him; instead, he approaches the situation with calmness and authority. By stepping forward and asking, "Who is it you want?", Jesus takes control of the situation, demonstrating his willingness to face what lies ahead. This question is not just for the soldiers but also for us, prompting reflection on our personal relationship with Jesus. It challenges us to think about our own desires and understanding of Jesus' role in our lives. His readiness to embrace his destiny highlights his love and commitment to fulfilling his mission for humanity's salvation. This moment is a powerful reminder of Jesus' courage and the depth of his love, encouraging us to trust in his plan and purpose.
Jesus, knowing all that was going to happen to him, went out and asked them, “Who is it you want?”
