Let's cut through all the different reasons that you might punch or stab somebody.

All right, number one, they're messing with your stuff, then you don't want them to take your stuff. All right, number one. They're messing with your stuff and you don't want them to take your stuff.

Number two, they punched or stabbed you. It might be a good reason to punch or stabbed them back.

They're trying to hurt somebody and you're there to protect the other person that they're trying to hurt.

You lost control of your emotions and they're just super, super provocative.

They're an instigator and they're in your face and they pushed your buttons and now here comes the punch in and the stabbing

What am I missing here?

You're in a war and the only weapon you have left is you're punching and so maybe you punch somebody for that reason. Okay, yeah,

maybe you got super liquored up and you're just not in your right mind. You're making terrible choices and now you're I want to fight everybody

guy and all of us had that friend when we were in high school or college.

Maybe somebody insulted your lady and your dude who's real insecure about that and you need her to feel like you

super care about her and you ever back and so you got to punch somebody or stab them.

I don't know the stabbing damn.

Hopefully we just don't think about stabbing people too much super super against

stabbing. Well Peter I mean it doesn't say Peter but it come on it's Peter here in

Matthew 26 he gets out a sword tries to do some stabbing and goes swinging it around and I want to think

through what was going on in his head here during this particular incident before we get

into thinking about the bigger things like Christianity and violence and the

prophetic nature of what's going on here with Jesus getting arrested and all of that

stuff. He's just talking about Peter and punching people and stabbing people.

All right here's what happened. They go to the garden in Matthew chapter 26.

Jesus has the last supper with the disciples.
