Summer Bible Study: WordGo’s Christ’s Life and Work: Week 2, Day 4: Matthew 26:31-35

Summary of Matthew 26:31-35

Jesus says that they will all fall away (desert him) because of him (who he is) this very night. But after he has risen, he will go ahead of them to Galilee. Peter says he never will, which is when Jesus says he will deny him 3 times before the rooster crows. Peter says no, as do the other disciples.

Questions for Matthew 26:31-35

9) Jesus is very assured of what will happen. He gives absolute details about them falling away and about their reunion after his death. Equally, his disciples are assured they will not be the one to disown Jesus. Peter said he’d be loyal to death.

10) People inherently want to be self-reliant and rely on their own strength rather than God’s. They disbelieve what others tell them. They underestimate the power of Satan. They believe they are stronger than what they are. We also want to be in control rather than let God be in control, so we go our way even when we know God’s way.

11) When others say I can’t do something or when I believe I am right and don’t need help or advice. I can pray to God more about these issues when they arise and listen to Him, following His way rather than mine.

Conclusions to WordGo Christ’s Life and Work Matthew 26:31-35

When those closest to Jesus fail, we should take heart, knowing that failure in following Christ is normal. We can become stronger in the Lord and our faith by drawing closer to Him. We can read the Bible more, worship more, listen to His call more, and try to be more like Jesus a little bit every day.

God is always faithful no matter our failings. Hold on to that

8 ) They will all fall away because of him that very night.

9a) Peter tells Jesus he won’t fall away.

b) They are all in denial. It’s ironic how they know it will happen, but they do it anyway.

c) I don’t overestimate my own strength because I know I can’t do anything without God, His strength, and His power.

I love how the rooster crows! We now own chickens, and we have one rooster. Although I have to say, he never stops crowing except at night.

End Notes BSF Study Questions Matthew Lesson 26, Day 4: Matthew 26:31-35

Jesus tells the disciples they will desert him in order to show them that Scripture must be fulfilled. Peter, like most of us, is in denial of wrongdoings and reliant on his own strength rather than God’s. Peter would falter, but Christ never does.

Peter was smug and self-assured. He will soon be humbled beyond belief. I’d be embarrassed and feel extremely guilty. This would definitely be hard to forgive myself for this one.
