Why Did Jesus Ask His Disciples To Buy Swords At The Last Supper? by Daejumong(m): 10:06am On Oct 20, 2024 |
Jesus asked His disciples to get swords at the Last Supper most likely for self defence! He did not want them to die with Him! He knew His hour had come and that was why He passed the message at the last supper! He knew His captors could go berserk and try to k#ll His men hence the need to be prepared to defend themselves! He did not ask them to use the swords for violence or attack His captors and that was why He rebuked Peter for using his sword to cut off the ear of one of His captors (Matt 26:52) Self defence/Self preservation is not a sin and it was important for the disciples to be alive to spread the gospel of Christ all over the world! Jesus knew He was the one destined to die and not His disciples. He was a true,selfless,sincere and practical leader! Luke 22:36 36 He said to them, “But now if you have a purse, take it, and also a bag; and if you don’t have a sword, sell your cloak and buy one. |

Daejumong: The sword Jesus meant was the word of God not the people to cut other people neck... The sword is confirmed in Ephesians And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God: -- Ephesians 6:17 |
