Unit 26 Session 3
THE BETRAYED PRIEST
MATTHEW 26
Even as Jesus was betrayed and arrested, He did not waver in His obedience to the Father and continued to trust in His plan to provide salvation.
As Jesus and His disciples left the upper room, Jesus embarked on the final leg of His journey to the cross. He entered the garden of Gethsemane, knowing all His disciples would fail to stand and watch and pray. He knew Peter would deny Him three times. He was utterly alone, but He never wavered. In the garden, Jesus did what Adam could not do. He stood against the devil and bowed His will to the Father's. By doing so, He brought many sons to glory.
Points to consider:
✞ The Son of Man predicts abandonment.
* What can you do to show your thankfulness,
knowing Jesus was willing to face death to
bring about salvation?
* How does the gospel change the way we view
the disciples' failures through the night of
Jesus' arrest?
✞ The Son of Man trusts in God's plan.
* What can we learn from Jesus in the garden
when we are grieving and sorrowful?
* How does Jesus' acceptance of God's will
instruct us on how we should pray during
difficult times?
✞ The Son of Man exercises restraint.
* How does knowing God's timing is different
from our timing help us in dealing with
hardships?
* Seeing prophecies fulfilled, what do we
learn about Scripture?
