EVERYONE DESERTED HIM / MARK 14:50

START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION

(KJV) Mark 14:50

And they all forsook him, and fled.

EVERYONE DESERTED HIM / MARK 14:50

We should not compare the failure of Peter and the other disciples at the time of Jesus’ arrest to the spiritual and moral failure of pastors or leaders after Christ’s death and resurrection. There are several reasons why we cannot compare the two situations equally”

  1. At the time of their failure, Peter and the disciples were not yet under the new covenant (God’s plan of spiritual salvation and a renewed relationship with people through the life and sacrifice of His Son, Jesus Christ; Mark 14:24). The new covenant did not go into effect until Christ died on the cross (Hebrews 9:15-20).
  2. Peter and the disciples had not yet experienced being “born again” spiritually (John 3:3-7), which includes being spiritually renewed and transformed by God’s Holy Spirit. The Spirit was not yet given to empower, guide and live within them until the day of Christ’s resurrection when He “breathed on them and said, ‘Receive the Holy Spirit’ “ (John 20:22). The disciples’ failure was an act of weakness rather than wickedness. 
  3. When Peter and the disciples abandoned Christ, they did not have the advantage of those who are now aware of the moral implications of Christ’s sacrificial death on the cross (Romans 6). In addition, they did not have the spiritual power provided by Christ’s sacrifice or faith inspired by His resurrection from the dead.
