Message 04/02/2026 - Disappointing Disciples - Text: Matthew 26:17-46

About this episode

This episode reflects on the events of Maundy Thursday, focusing on the disciples' failures during Jesus' arrest and prayer in the Garden of Gethsemane.

On Maundy Thursday we think about Jesus instituting the Lord's Supper, we think about Him praying in the Garden of Gethsemane, ultimately being arrested there. Amidst all these events the disciples are there, but they are betraying Him, sleeping while He is praying, fleeing from Him, and denying Him. If were in their shoes, do we think we would respond the same?
