"The Gospel of Jesus Christ the Son of God:27"
Mark 14:27-42, 47-72

"Watch and pray, lest you fall into temptation. The spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is week."

Do not be surprised by human injustice. Jesus revealed cracks in the system. "Now the chief priests and all the council sought testimony against Jesus to put Him to death, but found none." 14:55

Do not be surprised by a Disciples capacity to deny Jesus Christ. Jesus revealed cracks in His Apostles. "Even if all are made to stumble, yet I will not be...if I have to die with You, I will not deny You." 14:29, 31
Comparing Judas with Peter: Judas sis not fully trust Jesus, and Peter trusted Himself too much.
Insights from John's Gospel:
1. Getting in the door 18:17
2. Staying comfortable 18:25
3. Staying safe 18:26, 27

Denying Jesus is painful: "Then Peter recalled to mind the word that Jesus had said to him...and when he thought about it, he wept." 14:72

Jesus reveals cracks in us all-but He loves us still!
Are you to confident in you? "I will not!"
Have you fallen asleep on your watch? Prayer?
Have you placed other values higher than Jesus?
What are you going to do?
