Oh, let the Son of God enfold you with His spirit and his love.

Let him fill your heart and satisfy your soul.

Oh, let him have the things that hold you,

and his spirit like a dove will descend upon your life and make you home.

Welcome to the Word for today,

featuring the Bible teaching of Pastor Chuck Smith, founder of the Calvary Chapel Movement.

This radio program is a verse by verse study through the entire Bible.

And on today's edition of the Word for today, Pastor Chuck continues with Judas betrays Jesus, as we pick up in Matthew chapter 26 verse 45 and now with today's

message here's Pastor Chuck I believe that during this interval of time as the disciples

weary were sleeping there on the ground in the garden of Gassimony that Jesus just sat,

you can't watch with me, but I'll watch over you.

And he was waiting, waiting for Judas to come, waiting for the inevitable to happen.

And I think he was just sitting there looking at these fellas and loving them and

praying for each of them. I think he just sort of went around the circle and said,

Oh, Lord, there's Peter. He's going to blow it so bad. And he's going to be so discouraged.

He's going to feel so guilty and it's just going to eat at him.

Lord just really help Peter.

Lord, just really work in his life.

Father, use him as the instrument to strengthen the others.

When you've done your work in him, Jesus said,

Peter, I have prayed for you that your faith fail thee not.

And when thou art converted, strengthen your brothers.
