1) Tarasso = Danger Sign
JOHN 13:21 After Jesus had said this, he was deeply troubled and
declared openly, "I am telling you the truth: one of you is going to
betray me."
The word troubled here is the word tarasso, which
means a stirring.
Remember these signals in John 13:21 regards to the extreme danger that Jesus
was going to go through at the cross. Now Jesus was troubled.
John 12: 27 we realize His soul was also affected. Jn.12: 27 “Now is my soul
troubled. And what shall I say? Father, save Me from this hour? No, for this
purpose I have come to this hour.”
You see Jesus sense tarasso in His spirit but He went on. He went on with
whatever He was doing except that Jesus was facing one of His most difficult
testing. He was going to be put on trial. He was going to be whipped. He was
going to be crucified. And Jesus had to be walking and treading fully in God’s
perfect will. One wrong move, one wrong act and He would have been out of
God’s will. It was a dangerous mission.
How do we react when we have tarasso? Pray more, spend more time in prayer,
and spend more time in the Word.
When JESUS had tarasso When he Got the Betrayl what he did HE
PRAYED THE MORE IN Gethsemane AND WAS READY TO FACE THE SITUATION
Sometimes there is this careless driver and We get this signal tarasso - danger,
danger, one reckless driver coming. So, you are careful and you are watchful. See
God protects us. God gives us communication. God signals to us all the time.
