    Jesus and the eleven left the upper room and walked to the mount of Olives. Jesus may have talked to them on the trip and/or before he took Peter, James and John further into the garden. Many of the familiar verses of comfort come from this conversation. Jesus also spoke of prophesies fulfilled.

    ****************** Day Seven – Mount of Olives Peter Will Deny Jesus - Matthew 26:31-35, Mark 14:30, Luke 22:31-33, John 13:36-37 Jesus said to the eleven, “All of you will be offended because of me tonight.

    Being a missionary is not glamorous, but it is the work that matters to God. These men were called to simply go and share what they knew, are we not called to do the same?

    Risk It

    Life is not about playing it safe, nor is the Christian faith. Faith requires that we take risk, just like Peter took a risk stepping out of the boat.

    Many of you might remember the Lethal Weapons movies of a few years back. In these movies there was a good safe cop who did things conservatively, by the book, who wasn’t in to taking unnecessary risks. Then there was the character played by Mel Gibson who was always taking risks. He would jump ...read more

    Peter had called Jesus’ attention to the sacrifice he and the other disciples had made. “Then Peter said, Lo, we have left all, and followed thee.” Now, Jesus rivets the attention of the group on the infinitely greater sacrifice He is about to make.
