And this was true for all His disciples, not just the Twelve. To be a faithful disciple is to commit to knowing and being guided by God’s truth. The psalmist was right: “The entrance of Your words ...
Another reason, I suspect, is because they were overwhelmed with disappointment by Jesus’ arrest. They had hoped He would overcome the power of the Roman government and establish a new kingdom, and now their hopes of this vanished. They were also filled with fear for their own future. It’s easy to condemn those disciples—but how often ...
