MESSAGE: SCRIPTURE UNION DAILY GUIDE 26TH MARCH 2021 ONLINE
Jesus never hides painful truth from his disciples (vs.31, 34). And so, we must be plain on matters of truth too. Examine Peter’s assertions in vs.33&35. Were they humble or arrogant resolutions considering Jesus’ response in v. 34 cf. Luke 22; 31 – 34? It is important that we are determined to follow the Lord at all costs.
We must, however, do this in total dependence on His strength, not our self-ability (1 Sam. 2: 9b; John 15: 4 – 5; Philippians 4:13). Christian leaders must follow the example of Jesus in vs.36-38. He still took Peter along despite his knowledge that Peter would fail to keep his bold promises (vs.33,35). Good mentoring involves training with patience and tolerance. What does Jesus’ statement in v.38 show about His personality as a man?
Notice His approach to difficult and overwhelming situations in vs.39,42 and 44. What basic principles can we learn from the way he prayed here? Jesus knew that the human nature is resistant to God’s will and cannot please God in itself (vs.38, 40-41, 43, 45). Hence, in His human nature, He prayed that God’s will, not His, be done. How much more do we need to pray at every moment, for God’s will to be done in our lives!
Practice/Word Application
• And So? Let us take seriously the warning in vs.40-41 because the days are evil, and the end is drawing near. Read Romans 13:11-14.
• Any new insight or reinforcement of what you already know?
Closing Prayer:
• Lord, I can do all things only in your strength! Give me grace for every moment of my life.
• Thank God for Scripture Union and other Christian organizations who produce Christian materials and lit
