Christ's Disappointment in His Disciples
StoryHistorical Account★★★★Even his own 12 disciples were not proof against Satan’s temptations. A Judas betrayed him into the hands of his enemies. And in the hour of his humiliation in the judgment hall, Peter denied him. Jesus was disappointed in his disciples. Christ knows what disappointment feels like. His expectations were failed. You remember in the Garden of Gethsemane, he goes and he prays and he’s sweating blood, he comes out and what does he find Peter and the other disciples doing? Sleeping. Do you remember what he said? 1 hour, Peter? Could you pray with me just for 1 hour? You hear that it just saturated with disappointment.
Arruda, Gabriel, “Disappointed but Not Discouraged” (AudioVerse teaching 34153).
