What had happened?
Less than a week before, they had entered Jerusalem triumphantly. Jesus had authoritatively condemned the temple establishment by overthrowing the tables in the temple.
Just twenty-four hours ago they were eating supper with him. Now he was in the tomb.
Peter had gone back to Bethany. He, James, and John kept looking out the window, half expecting someone to come arrest them.
How could they have been so wrong? He had said he was the Messiah. God was going to restore His kingdom on earth. Peter had been ready to die for Jesus. But he was not ready for Jesus to die. That was completely unexpected. He would have fought to the death, but Jesus simply went with the men from the high priest.
What would he do now? How could God forsake Jesus? How could God let them crucify him?
There had to be something else to do. There had to be something more. What should I do? What should I do?
