Focal Passage
Mark 14:27-31
Mark 14:27-31
27"You will all fall away," Jesus told them, "for it is written: " 'I will strike the shepherd, and the sheep will be scattered.‘
28But after I have risen, I will go ahead of you into Galilee." 29Peter declared, "Even if all fall away, I will not."
Mark 14:27-31
30"I tell you the truth," Jesus answered, "today—yes, tonight—before the rooster crows twice you yourself will disown me three times."
31But Peter insisted emphatically, "Even if I have to die with you, I will never disown you." And all the others said the same.
How would you characterize the attitude
of the disciples in this passage?
How did the disciples plan to respond to adversity?
Mark 14:43
43Just as he was speaking, Judas, one of the Twelve, appeared. With him was a crowd armed with swords and clubs, sent from the chief priests, the teachers of the law, and the elders.
What does this verse tell us about the kind of response that Jesus’ captures were
expecting?
Mark 14:46-50
46The men seized Jesus and arrested him. 47Then one of those standing near drew his sword and struck the servant of the high priest, cutting off his ear. 48"Am I leading a rebellion," said Jesus, "that you have come out with swords and clubs to capture me? 49Every day I was with you, teaching in the temple courts, and you did not arrest me. But the Scriptures must be fulfilled." 50Then everyone deserted him and fled.
How did the disciples actually respond when faced with adversity?
Why did the disciples’ words, not match their actions in this time of
adversity?
The Path of Sheep
The Natural Behavior of Sheep
• Flock together
• Follow the leader
• Never walk a straight path
• Flee not fight
If spiritual overconfidence is the danger we must
avoid, what is the proper attitude that we should
have as Christians?
Proverbs 3:5-6
5 Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding;
6 in all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight.
Mark 14:27-31
27"You will all fall away," Jesus told them, "for it is written: " 'I will strike the shepherd, and the sheep will be scattered.‘
28But after I have risen, I will go ahead of you into Galilee." 29Peter declared, "Even if all fall away, I will not."
Focal Passage
John 21:15-17
John 21:15-17
15When they had finished eating, Jesus said to Simon Peter, "Simon son of John, do you truly love me more than these?" "Yes, Lord," he said, "you know that I love you." Jesus said, "Feed my lambs." 16Again Jesus said, "Simon son of John, do you truly love me?" He answered, "Yes, Lord, you know that I love you." Jesus said, "Take care of my sheep."
John 21:15-17
17 The third time he said to him, "Simon son of John, do you love me?"
Peter was hurt because Jesus asked him the third time, "Do you love me?" He said, "Lord, you know all things; you know that I love you."
Jesus said, "Feed my sheep.
