The Betrayal and Rejection of Jesus

The people who rejected Jesus

Disciples/Peter specifically

Judas

Accusers

He was alone on the eve of Him saving the world!

Why they rejected Him

It interfered with their life

They didn’t want to try to make Jesus the Lord of their lives, so they got rid of Him instead

It gave short term benefits

There were immediate rewards for not being a Christian that were attractive to Judas (and Us)

Faith got hard and they broke

The world took their faith and tried to smash it

So What?

Don’t reject Him

You won’t find anything good, only misery

Why did Jesus ask for the Father to ‘remove the cup’?

Why do people reject Jesus now?

Do you think you would reject Jesus like the disciples if you were with Him at this point? Why?
