HAVE YOU STUMBLED? WHO WILL RESCUE YOU?
‘All of you will…stumble.‘ Matthew 26:31 NKJV
ON THE night before His death, Jesus made this announcement: ‘All of you will be made to stumble because of Me this night, for it is written: “I will strike the Shepherd, and the…flock will be scattered.” But after I have been raised, I will go before you to Galilee’ (vv. 31-32 NKJV).
HAVE YOU STUMBLED? WHO WILL RESCUE YOU?
Think about it! If the disciples who had spent three-and-a-half years walking and talking with Jesus, hearing His messages and seeing His miracles could stumble, then any of us can. All of you will…stumble. But the promise was lost on Peter. HAVE YOU STUMBLED? WHO WILL RESCUE YOU?
Even if all are made to stumble because of You, I will never be made to stumble’ (v. 33 NKJV). This was not one of Peter’s finer moments. “Even if all… Arrogant. ‘I will never be made to stumble.’ self-sufficient. Peter’s trust was in Peter’s Strength. Yet Peter’s strength would peter out. HAVE YOU STUMBLED? WHO WILL RESCUE YOU?
Jesus knew it: ‘Simon, Simon! indeed, Satan has asked for you, that he may sift you as wheat. But have prayed for you, that your faith should not fail; and when you have returned to Me, strengthen your brethren’ (Luke 22:31-32 NKJV). Satan would attack and test Peter.
HAVE YOU STUMBLED? WHO WILL RESCUE YOU?
But Satan would never claim him. Why? Because Peter was strong? No – because Jesus was. ‘I have prayed for you.’ And here’s a wonderful truth – Jesus prays for you too: “Father, you have given me your name; now protect them by the power of your name…I am praying not only for these disciples but also for all who will ever believe in me’
John 17:11, 20 NLT). Will God answer Christ’s prayer on your behalf? What do you think? Of course He will! HAVE YOU STUMBLED? WHO WILL RESCUE YOU?
