“As soon then as he had said unto them, I am he, they went backward, and fell to the ground.”
John 18:6 KJV
Jesus not only went to the Garden of Gethsemane to pray, but to be captured. He knew full well the Father’s plan. Just as Adam fell in the garden of paradise, Jesus stood faithful in the garden of betrayal. When they came to take Him, at the moment Jesus spoke the words, “I AM He”, the mob fell backward to the ground!” This is a stunning event, as the great I AM spoke His Name before those who sought to seize Him. It is obvious that the mob didn’t trip over each other in surprise, but instead every one of these strong men fell backward in the ground by the power of God. Jesus was in charge that night, as the captain of the hosts of the Lord. They could not seize Him unless He permitted them to do so. What a wonderful Saviour Who willingly submitted to the hands of cruel men to bring us the gift of salvation. Thank You Jesus!
