By this point in the week, the tension was beginning to mount. Followers were falling away. What had seemed like a good idea when Jesus rode the colt into the city – the praising and celebration – began to look more like a mistake.
If this man was going to overthrow Rome, then why is he turning the religious leaders against him? Didn’t he know that he would need this group to lead the new Israel?
Confusion. Frustration. Tension.
In the midst of the swirling emotions, Jesus pulled his disciples together for one final Passover meal. With full knowledge of what would happen in just a few short hours, he took a basin and towel and gave the disciples one of the most powerful lessons of his ministry. He explained that he would not be with them much longer but they must carry on by serving and and loving one another.
Can you sense the anxiousness in the hearts of the disciples. They knew something was about to happen. But what could it be?
After that supper, the group headed into the garden to pray. Some stayed with him longer than others, but one by one they all dropped out. By the end of the night, even Jesus’ most vigilant follower would turn and run.
Will you stay with him? Will you walk with him to the cross?
Clay in the Hands 
I had really never thought so deeply about the disciples like I saw them in the video tonight. The video made it so real that they were not given special powers they were only human. Jesus knew HE would go through the next hours all alone & everyone would leave HIM. I pray I will stand for HIM & walk with HIM to the cross
