The death of a hero

Do you think for a minute I'm not going to drink this cup the Father gave me?... Pilate caved in to their demand. He turned Jesus over to be crucified. John 18:11, 19:16

Dreams and hopes

The very public taking and humiliation of their hero must have been devastating for the disciples. A torrent of emotions thundering through each of them; feelings of disenchantment and disloyalty, wild confusion and stomach churning fear. Their hopes have all come to a shattering and violent end. Is this then a 'descent into hell' and experiencing the depths and darkness of the sub-conscious?*

As I listen to Jesus's response what desire or challenge is stirred within me? Is there a prayer or action that emerges?
