The Best of Men are Men at Best / John 18
March 25th, 2007 by Todd JohnsonIn John 18 we see the example of a true disciple of Jesus displaying deep loyalty and courage in one moment and great weakness and failure in another. From this account, Todd identifies the three “players” involved in the storyline – Satan, Simon and the Savior – and provides insights into the reality that even the best of men are men at best and that God is ever ready to forgive the foolish, heal the wounded and restore the broken.
