When Jesus said, "I am he," they drew back and fell to the ground. - John 18:6
In today's verse, the soldiers, and others armed with weapons, came to arrest unarmed Jesus, and they fell to the ground when he spoke because they inherently knew the might that was before them in Jesus. It was almighty might.
And still is today.
As believers, we know that, though God in Jesus Christ does indeed have power that is rightly honored and worshiped and revered, God has shown us in Jesus that he chooses to use all His might for you. To overcome our sin. To overcome our fears. To overcome our infirmities. To overcome our doubts. To overcome all that would steal, kill, and destroy our heart (John 10:10).
Friends, almighty Jesus, Son of God, is here, and he's for you!
Thus the saying, "If God is for us, who can be against us?" (Romans 8:31). And "No weapon that is formed against you will prosper; And every tongue that accuses you in judgment you will condemn" (Isaiah 54:17).
God is for you. And we know this in Jesus Christ!
So get out there, and have a great day with Jesus in the power of the Holy Spirit. For he to whom all will bow down, yes, he has shown in his being and his death on the cross and his resurrection from the dead and his desire to live in you by the Holy Spirit, this Jesus, Son of God, is totally for you!
Honor and praise and trust him, and you'll see!
Praise God!!
