Gospel of Matthew
Gospel of MatthewSteve Gregg

In this passage from Matthew 26:31-46, Steve Gregg encourages listeners to pray for strength against temptations and to reconsider their own self-confidence and loyalty. He notes Peter's struggle to stay awake and follow God's will, reminding us that even the strongest may fall under testing. Gregg emphasizes the importance of relying on God's strength, rather than our own, to overcome the spiritual agony of guilt and receive salvation through the sacrifice of Jesus' blood.
