Everyone in Jesus’ arrest, trial, and execution by crucifixion was motivated, at least in part, by fear. Everyone, that is, except Jesus.

Fear is a powerful driver of human behavior, even when it masquerades as concern for others.

One fear or another will dominate every person’s life: a holy fear that leads towards God or an unholy fear that drives away from God.

It’s not always easy to discern the difference.

It’s one thing to feel fearful: it’s another to live fearful.

John 18-19 helps us see:

* the impact of being motivated by an unholy fear

* how betrayers seek to bring others into their camp

* how we can face betrayal like Christ did

* that a sudden and unexpected change in circumstances can make us vulnerable to acting out of fear

* the temptation for leaders to hide self-serving actions under the cloak of caring about others
