Your community is the group of people you would turn to in your darkest hour. For Jesus, this was Peter, James, and John. He turned to them to “keep watch with him” in the Garden of Gethsemane:
37 He took Peter and the two sons of Zebedee along with him, and he began to be sorrowful and troubled. 38 Then he said to them, “My soul is overwhelmed with sorrow to the point of death. Stay here and keep watch with me.” 39 Going a little farther, he fell with his face to the ground and prayed . . . 40 Then he returned to his disciples and found them sleeping. “Couldn’t you men keep watch with me for one hour?” he asked Peter. 41 “Watch and pray so that you will not fall into temptation. The spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak.” 42 He went away a second time . . . 43 When he came back, he again found them sleeping, because their eyes were heavy. 44 So he left them and went away once more and prayed the third time . . . 45 Then he returned to the disciples and said to them, “Are you still sleeping and resting? Look, the hour has come, and the Son of Man is delivered into the hands of sinners. 46 Rise! Let us go! Here comes my betrayer!”
Jesus asked His disciples to keep watch with him, but they kept falling asleep. They let Jesus down, because they were exhausted. But I love Jesus’ response. He calls them out, he expresses his frustration, but then He goes on about doing the thing God had called Him to do.
I think it is instructive because it combines disappointment, frustration, and forgiveness. He marvels at their weakness at the same time that he accepts and forgives it. And He doesn’t give up on them. He says at the end, “Let us go!”
