#soap # John 18 ## Title: The King is Here ## Scripture: (John 18:4-5) Then Jesus, because he knew everything that was going to happen to him, came and asked them, “Who are you looking for?” They replied, “Jesus the Nazarene.” He told them, “I am he.” (Now Judas, the one who betrayed him, was standing there with them.) (NET) ## Observation: They came looking for a man named Jesus. They found the King of kings, the God of all the Universe. I have heard so many stories of people who investigated the life of Jesus in order to discredit Christianity. The vast majority of them become Christians. They begin by looking at the man, Jesus. They end up bowing down to the power of God. Never forget that Jesus is no mere man. He is the King. The Creator of all things stepped into time, space, and matter. He became one of us so He could save us all. Praise the Lord for the King who became a man so He could save all mankind for all time. ## Application: When reading God’s Word, always remember that Jesus is not just a man. He is God in human form. ## Prayer: Thank You, Jesus, for saving us all.
