It was time. Jesus had gone through the unimaginable agony of Gethsemane. Know anyone who has sweated blood? (Luke 22:24-65)
Judas had come and turned Him in. Jesus had seemed surprised the betrayal was with a kiss. It stung more than we can think .
Jesus' friends suddenly woke up to the attack and struck back, hitting the high Priest's slave. But our Lord said, "Stop! No more of this."

Then Jesus did it. Carving time and energy and love into this dark disastrous scene, He reached out and touched the bloody mess. He graced the hanging mangle on the side of the slave's head. He healed his ear.
And in this one last touch, love poured out. Healing poured in. And abundant grace is seen. No matter what the situation. How we love you Lord.
