Do you need to regroup?

Matthew 26: 31

Then Jesus told them, "This very night you will all fall away on account of me, for it is written: " 'I will strike the shepherd, and the sheep of the flock will be scattered.”

How could anyone fall away, after seeing Jesus do everything He did?

Peter in later verses said, that even if everyone else falls away, he never will—but he was actually the first to fall away.

Jesus has placed a very high calling on our lives, but when some consider the beckoning, many will fall away too.

I shared with the men of our church last Saturday night, that most American men don’t even attend church.

Actually, less than 21% of all American men  attend church.

Seems to me that like sheep we have already gone our own way, and like sheep, each of us has gone astray.

Even as the church moves toward the last days, there is also another great falling away predicted.

Jesus was speaking during the last Passover meal He would share with His greatest friends, and yet He shared some pretty harsh words.

Could it be that He knows more about us, than we know about ourselves?

At this present time the church needs to regroup, because it sure seems to me that the church today looks pretty scattered.

When the going gets tough, what will you do? Will you scatter, or will you on the other hand, draw near to the presence of God?

How you treat this Holy week, will speak of your allegiance to the cause of Christ.

This week is a time for drawing near, and yet many will miss the chance to fully embrace and reflect deeply, on the suffering of their Savior—done so on their behalf…..
