Today: [Matthew 26] The Disciples Scatter as Jesus is Betrayed: In the conclusion of chapter 26 of Matthew Jesus warns the disciples that every one of them will forsake Him, even impetuous Peter. The Master takes them to a garden to pray and the disciples, overwhelmed with sorrow fall on sleep as Jesus prays alone until the soldiers come to take Him. What about you? Have you ever been a sleeping sentry, unable to tarry even one hour with the Master? As the curtain rises on this final episode of Jesus' earthly life may we transparently see ourselves and our own weaknesses in contrast to the price that was paid to deliver us from them all.
