Peter’s impulsive sword swing created a mess in the Garden – physically, spiritually, and practically for Malchus. Discover the “Easter egg” in how Jesus responded: not just healing, but restoring His enemy to his livelihood and position, effectively cleaning up the consequences of His disciple’s mistake. This final miracle before the resurrection is a powerful demonstration of grace, love for enemies, and Jesus’s willingness to mend what’s broken, even for those who don’t follow Him. What does this teach us about forgiveness and reacting thoughtfully?
