Day 10: With Jesus as the Disciples Desert Him
When Jesus is arrested, one disciple strikes with a sword, Jesus stops the violence, and then all the disciples desert him and flee. Today's step invited us to stay with Jesus as he is misunderstood and left alone.
Community discussion question:
Have you found yourself trying to calm conflict, explaining your intentions over and over in the face of misunderstanding, or being deserted by those close to you? What is it like to know Jesus experienced these things, too?

This is a horrible feeling.
Isolating.
Frustrating.
Endless.
No one to talk to.
It's comforting to know these things are not something alien for Jesus and He overcame them 💛
