THEY WERE PROBLEMS AND NOT A RELIEF TO HIM (Friday, 6th March 2026)
Text for Today: Matt. 26:36-44 “And said to Peter, “What? Could you not watch with Me one hour.” (vs. 40).
We all get to some junctions in our journey where men let us down. There is a truth every man going somewhere in life must come to term with, that says, “Not everyone around you will run with your vision and dream with the same vigour and passion you are doing it.” If you don’t understand this, you may end up being frustrated and confused. You will just be asking some funny questions no one will be there to answer you. Questions like: “Why do people behave like this?” “Can’t they do it the same way I am doing it,” “Are they not matured enough to know what is expected of them.” At times it may be people you trusted so much or those you have invested so much in and you think they should know better.
Beloved, you cannot take the fact away that they are mortal being, and can disappoint you at any time. You are the one that must remain committed to whatever purpose that is driving you in life. This was the same situation Jesus found Himself in the Garden of Gethsemane from our text for today, when He expected and instructed the three disciples who went further with Him to pray along with Him, rather they engaged in the ministry of sleep. While the Lord was going through the spiritual agony of the Gethsemane, the disciples were sleeping. The three disciples who were supposed to be closer to Jesus, disappointed Him, they were problems not a relief. Though, we may blame the disciples for hurting the Lord so badly, but are we different? We hurt and disappoint Him as well often.
You are a Champion!
Further Study: Matt. 26:36-46.
