Twenty-Four Hours
The final twenty-four hours of Jesus’ life were filled with profound moments – acts of humility, deep sorrow, and ultimate betrayal. John, an eyewitness and one of Jesus’ closest companions, gives us a front-row seat to this pivotal day. It’s no surprise that nearly a third of his Gospel focuses on these hours. As we step into this story, we’ll see how it can transform the way we live and follow Him.

I Am He

Notes
Participant Guide

“I Am He.” –Jesus

Palm Sunday
“… large crowd that had come to the feast heard that Jesus was coming to Jerusalem. So they took branches of palm trees and went out to meet him, crying out, “Hosanna! Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord, even the King of Israel!” –John 12:12-13

Hosanna = “Save us” or “Grant salvation”

24 Hours – Thursday, Upper Room Discourse (John 13-17)
Holiness is about obedience
Love does what no one else will do
Everything we do reflects God
No matter if you’re the betrayer or the betrayed, grace is always on the table
You can experience incredibly difficult circumstances and not be trouble in your heart
Abiding in Jesus isn’t about trying harder; it’s about trusting more
Jesus left us not to abandon us but to empower us with the Holy Spirit
Jesus prays.

Jesus proves His love!

John 18:1-28

Jesus loves by going the distance. (John 18:1-11)

“Greater love has no one than this, that someone lay down his life for his friends.” –Jesus, John 15:13

+ ADD NOTES

Jesus goes the distance by …
Making it easy
• Garden of Gethsemane
• A place of prayer (Matthew 26:36-46; Mark 14:32-42; Luke 22:39-46)
• A place of rest – He would go there to get away from all the conflict
• A place of community – He could be with his disciples
• The place of His arrest – He made it easy for Judas to find him

Stepping forward (John 18:4)
Identifying Himself as God: “I AM”
Silencing every attempt to shrink or limit His love

Jesus loves even when He is wronged. (John 18:12-14; John 18:19-24)

+ ADD NOTES

Jesus loves to restore those who fail. (John 18:15-18, John 18:25-27)

Peter is the poster child of failure, and yet Peter:
• Was a disciple
• Was a leader of the early church
• Was a gifted leader and preacher
• Wrote 1 and 2 Peter
• Boldly and dangerously confessed Jesus
• Was martyred in Rome (Crucified upside down by tradition)

“Then they led Jesus from the house of Caiaphas to the governor’s headquarters. It was early morning.” –John 18:28

You might feel far from God, but God is never far from you.
His love proves that.

Jesus loves you.
