“Then all his disciples deserted him and ran away.” (vs. 50)
How often does this describe me? How often do I keep my mouth shut when I should speak up? Or run away from Christ instead of to Him in my time if need? The amazing thing is that Jesus didn’t hold it against them. The disciples all ran away and deserted Him in His darkest hour. But after His resurrection, He returned to them. He kept on loving them. And He sent them out as His representatives. That’s grace. Lord, may I not take Your grace for granted today. By Your grace, may I not desert You, deny You, betray You or run away.
