Deserted?

As a result of this many of His disciples withdrew and were not walking with Him anymore.
John 6:66

25 Now Simon Peter was standing and warming himself. So they said to him, “You are not also one of His disciples, are you?” He denied it, and said, “I am not.” 26 One of the slaves of the high priest, being a relative of the one whose ear Peter cut off, said, “Did I not see you in the garden with Him?”
27 Peter then denied it again, and immediately a rooster crowed.
John18:25-27

69 Now Peter was sitting outside in the courtyard, and a servant-girl came to him and said, “You too were with Jesus the Galilean.” 70 But he denied it before them all, saying, “I do not know what you are talking about.” 71 When he had gone out to the gateway, another servant-girl him and said to those who were there, “This man was with Jesus of Nazareth.” 72 And again he denied it with an oath, “I do not know the man.” 73 A little later the bystanders came up and said to Peter, “Surely you too are one of them; for even the way you talk gives you away.” 74 Then he began to curse and swear, “I do not know the man!” And immediately a rooster crowed. 75 And Peter remembered the word which Jesus had said, “Before a rooster crows, you will deny Me three times.” And he went out and wept bitterly.


Jesus had some pretty good friends! They walked with Him, heard His Words of life, saw His miracles. They claimed that they'd never forsake Him, as exclaimed by Peter. But when things turned from fair weather to stormy, and Jesus suffered His final days of agony on earth, His disciples had all fled, denying Him, to save themselves.
Since we do drink from Jesus' cup, we will find that people will disappoint us, hurt us by word and/or deed, and sometimes we may feel alone. But are we really? No- Jesus promised to never leave us or forsake us, and He is not a man that He should lie.
When you feel alone, hurt, betrayed, remember we are not... The One who saved our should also carries us through life's most bitter and hurtful times.
