John
16:2,31-32 – They will put you out
of the synagogue; in fact, the time is coming when anyone who
kills you will think they are offering a service to God…“Do you
now believe?” Jesus replied. “A time is coming and in fact has come
when you will be scattered, each to your own home. You will leave me all alone. Yet I am not alone,
for my Father is with me.
Zechariah 13:7 – “Awake, sword, against my shepherd, against the man who is close to
me!” declares the Lord Almighty. “Strike the shepherd, and the
sheep will be scattered, and I will turn my hand against the
little ones.
Application:
- · The disciples had faith, but not enough to stand firm in the face of disaster.
- · Religious people have often persecuted others in the strong conviction that they were doing God’s will.
- · “My shepherd” was the royal Good Shepherd.
