Mark 14:27–36(ESV)
27 And Jesus said to them, “You will all fall away, for it is written, ‘I will strike the shepherd, and the sheep will be scattered.’ 28 But after I am raised up, I will go before you to Galilee.”
29 Peter said to him, “Even though they all fall away, I will not.” 30 And Jesus said to him, “Truly, I tell you, this very night, before the rooster crows twice, you will deny me three times.” 31 But he said emphatically, “If I must die with you, I will not deny you.” And they all said the same.
32 And they went to a place called Gethsemane. And he said to his disciples, “Sit here while I pray.” 33 And he took with him Peter and James and John, and began to be greatly distressed and troubled. 34 And he said to them, “My soul is very sorrowful, even to death. Remain here and watch.”
35 And going a little farther, he fell on the ground and prayed that, if it were possible, the hour might pass from him. 36 And he said, “Abba, Father, all things are possible for you. Remove this cup from me. Yet not what I will, but what you will.”
27 And Jesus said to them, “You will all fall away, for it is written, ‘I will strike the shepherd, and the sheep will be scattered.’ 28 But after I am raised up, I will go before you to Galilee.”
FALL AWAY: temporary NOT JUDAS
1 JOHN 2:19
19 They went out from us, but they were not of us; for if they had been of us, they would have continued with us. But they went out, that it might become plain that they all are not of us.
HOW DOES JESUS KNOW THIS WILL HAPPEN?
JESUS KNOWS THIS CAUSE HE KNOWS THE WORD OF GOD.....JESUS IS THE WORD OF GOD
Zechariah 13:7 (ESV)
7 “Awake, O sword, against my shepherd, against the man who stands next to me,” declares the Lord of hosts. “Strike the shepherd, and the sheep will be scattered; I will turn my hand against the little ones.
VS 28 “but after I am raised up”.....JESUS SEES BEYOND THE CROSS
2 looking to Jesus, the founder and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is seated at the right hand of the throne of God.
JESUS SEES YOUR FALL, BUT HE ALSO SEES YOUR FUTURE!!!
11 For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans for welfare and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope.
29 Peter said to him, “Even though they all fall away, I will not.” 30 And Jesus said to him, “Truly, I tell you, this very night, before the rooster crows twice, you will deny me three times.” 31 But he said emphatically, “If I must die with you, I will not deny you.” And they all said the same.
vs 29 PETER: SELF-REFLECTION....UNAWARE OF HIS OWN WEAKNESSES--------2 COR EXAMINE YOURSELVES
OVERESTIMATE......TALK THE TALK BUT NOT WALK THE WALK------------
PRIDEFUL: PRIDE GOES BEFORE DESTRUCTION PROVERBS 16
JESUS PUTS HIM IN HIS PLACE
31 “Simon, Simon, behold, Satan demanded to have you, that he might sift you like wheat,
HOW DO WE DENY JESUS?
OBVIOUS
When we believe—even for one nanosecond, that our obedience earns anything from God, we deny the cross.
When we believe the accusations and the condemning lies of Satan, we deny the cross
.When we live with a critical spirit towards others and remember their sins against them, we deny the cross
.When we SIR in self-contempt and shame, we deny the cross.
When we refuse to believe God loves us SO MUCH THAT HE DIED TO REDEEM US
UNASHAMED
38 For whoever is ashamed of me and of my words in this adulterous and sinful generation, of him will the Son of Man also be ashamed when he comes in the glory of his Father with the holy angels.”
Romans 1:16 (ESV)
16 For I am not ashamed of the gospel, for it is the power of God for salvation to everyone who believes
11 For he who sanctifies and those who are sanctified all have one source. That is why he is not ashamed to call them brothers,
PETER DID NOT PASS THIS TEST
TESTS WILL REVEAL THE TRUTH .....DID YOU STUDY, THEN YOU PASS
DRIVING: DID YOU PRACTICE, THEN YOU PASS
CANT TALK YOUR WAY THROUGH MOST TESTS
PETER’S DENIAL IS WHAT EMBOLDENS HIM
JESUS RESTORES PETER JOHN 21, PETER PREACHES BOLDLY IN ACTS
32 And they went to a place called Gethsemane. And he said to his disciples, “Sit here while I pray.” 33 And he took with him Peter and James and John, and began to be greatly distressed and troubled. 34 And he said to them, “My soul is very sorrowful, even to death. Remain here and watch.”
GETHSEMANE: THE OIL PRESS.....CRUSH THE OLIVES TO MAKE OLIVE OIL
44 And being in agony he prayed more earnestly; and his sweat became like great drops of blood falling down to the ground.
Hematidrosis is a rare, but very real, medical condition that causes one’s sweat to contain blood. The sweat glands are surrounded by tiny blood vessels that can constrict and then dilate to the point of rupture, causing blood to effuse into the sweat glands. The cause of hematidrosis is extreme anguish.
PRESSURE HAS POTENTIAL......WHAT WILL YOU DO WITH IT?
WILL IT BREAK YOU OR WILL IT MAKE YOU
35 And going a little farther, he fell on the ground and prayed that, if it were possible, the hour might pass from him. 36 And he said, “Abba, Father, all things are possible for you. Remove this cup from me. Yet not what I will, but what you will.”
COMPARE YOUR PRAYERS TO JESUS
NAME IT CLAIM IT
OR YOUR WILL NOT MINE
WE CAN TAKE A STAND IF WE BOW FIRST

JESUS PRAYER GETS DENIED CAUSE GOD SAYS I LOVE THEM TOO MUCH AND THIS IS THE ONLY WAY!!!
