Matthew 26:56 (42–56) “But all this has taken place to fulfill Scripture of the prophets.”
Although it seems heroic of Peter to try (although completely overwhelmed) and protect his Lord (John 18:10), Jesus points out that nothing that anyone can do can keep what is necessary to happen from happening.
We need to realize and accept this concept no matter how hard it is to accept. Nothing, not even Satan, let alone you can stop God’s plan from obtaining its goal of saving man from himself and re-establishing the relationship between He and man as it was originally intended to be.
It’s not that God wants us all to just run away, it takes more courage to face our attackers with the truth than with a sword or a gun. None of us will probably ever need this level of courage in our witness, so what’s keeping us from witnessing right where we are?
Courage involves setting your fears aside so you can do what is right.
