"I Am He"

John 18:1-11

Why is it that when we look at the cross of Christ, we see a victor and not a victim?

3 Reasons:

Jesus dies willingly

• He does not hide or resist
• “I am he” (Jn. 18.5)

Jesus dies sacrificially

• He dies to save and rescue others
• “So if you seek me, let these men go” (Jn. 18.8)

Jesus dies victoriously

• He accomplishes the work
• “It is finished” (Jn. 19.30).

Take Home Idea: Jesus’ willing and sacrificial death disarmed satan and secured God’s victory (Col. 2.15)
