Deserted by His Closest Friends

Deserted by His Closest Friends

55 In that hour Jesus said to the crowd, "Am I leading a rebellion, that you have come out with swords and clubs to capture me? Every day I sat in the temple courts teaching, and you did not arrest me. 56 But this has all taken place that the writings of the prophets might be fulfilled." Then all the disciples deserted him and fled.

Matthew 26:55-56(TNIV)



Do you ever feel alone? Have you ever felt deserted by the ones that you love the most; your friends that you would have never thought would ever leave you in times of trouble? Well, Jesus can relate to you today as He was deserted by His closest friends right there in the midst of giving His life away in order that we could have these discussions today, more than 2,000 years later about His incredible love. He was deserted while He was paying the penalty of sin, for you and for me, in order that we could experience the presence of God in our lives and in order that we could be restored and healed so we could begin our journey of knowing and loving our Creator in a very real way today. So don’t give up as your friends move away because they are in a story of their own and their journey is much different from yours, but hold on to the fact that you have a friend above all friends who has been where you are and who will never let you go! Walk in the midst of His incredible love today as you give your life away for the King.
