All the 11 disciples (although temporarily) either renounced their faith or hidden their faces from the general public. Praise the Lord! God will not leave us in between. Even though we fall away for some time, God will pick us up to our profession before we die (Rom 8:28:30). What catches my eye is the 4 women stood with Jesus at the cross until He dies.
Four Faithful Women of God:
1) Mary the mother of Jesus
2) Mary Magdalene (from whom Jesus drove seven Demons out)
3) Mary the mother of James the younger & of Joses
4) Salome
Even though all the disciples forsook him, these women stood with Jesus. Those whom He called and would commission as Apostles were less faithful than those who would not receive the Apostolic office.
The Sorrowful look: The most beloved Son of God was now pierced. Imagine how it would have cut them into pieces (Especially for Jesus' mother). Stream of tears would have flown from their eyes.
Let us learn from these women how to stand with Jesus even in tough circumstances instead running from Him.
