Bible Study #39 (Bible Study With John Ogwyn)

"Everything has been building to this point—to
the events that culminated in the crucifixion
of Jesus Christ. He came as the Lamb of God
to take away the sin of the world (John 1:29).
He was that final Passover Lamb that God
provided.
Last Bible study we went through the events of
the final Passover supper that He observed with
His disciples. We saw the events that culminated
with His arrest and ended with Peter’s denial.
There is an important lesson that we are to gain
from that. God ensured that Peter learned the
lesson, and then he went on to serve God in
powerful ways. When we rely on human strength,
it will fail us and let us down at a crucial time.
Peter felt that when the going got tough, he could
handle things.
Jesus had gone aside that evening and prayed.
He went a little further and prayed fervently.
His disciples dozed off and fell asleep. Jesus
recognized the crucial nature of the events He
was going to be going through. He saw the
enormity of what lay ahead, more than anything
ever. The disciples did not recognize how
powerless they were. If they had, they would
have found it a little bit easier to concentrate.
There was an illusion of the suffering." Read More!!
