Into the Breach Pt. 4: “O the Boldness of the Untested One”

Matt 26:51-54

Mark 14:45-50

Luke 22:49-51

John 18:3-11

How to Pass the Test of True Boldness for God

1- Respect Over Retaliation. ‘You may be against me, I'm not against you’. This story is about 3 people Jesus has every right to disrespect and doesn’t. Judas the betrayer, Peter the denier, and Malachus the accuser (high priest servant). In all of these we never see disrespect.. Rather a God who exemplifies humility and holiness no matter where the story arc goes. You can swing a sword for Jesus and still miss the heart of Jesus

2- Engagement Over An Escape Route. Jesus engaged in 4 different ways in each of the stories; one story he engaged his disciples, another he engaged the religious leaders, the other the man whose ear was cut off, even allowing affection (a kiss) from his betrayer… in all of them he didn't even need to engage but he did. Your boldness should lead to a life of engagement of all people, inviting them into the relationship that you share, and that they can have, with Jesus.

3- We Must Practice the Sensitivity Necessary to Be Healing Not Harming. In what ways are we engaging the broken and hurting of society and showing them the healer? When the spirit of God meets someone and heals… we then are given an opportunity to disciple into a relationship. If our boldness is cutting off ears and not healing them, we have missed the example of Jesus. Our theology and relationship needs to be strong enough that when we encounter pain we engage that pain with the power and presence of God.
