Is it possible to be with Jesus, but not really? I think so. In Matthew 26 there are a number of people with Jesus, but most of them aren't really with Him.
Verses 69-75...
Peter was with Jesus, but denying Him.
Verses 57-68...
Caiaphas, the scribes and the elders were with Jesus, but revolted by Him.
Verses 47-56...
The large crowd was with Jesus, but on mission against Him.
Verse 56...
The disciples were with Jesus, but running scared from Him.
Verses 36-46...
The disciples were with Jesus, but disengaged from Him.
Verses 26-35...
The disciples were with Jesus, but confused about Him.
Verses 14-25...
Judas was with Him, but betraying Him.
But here's the good one...
In verses 6-13 the Bible says a woman came and anointed the head of Jesus with very costly perfume from an alabaster vial. Although her actions infuriated the disciples, Jesus commended her. And although here name is not mentioned, Jesus said that what she did would be remembered wherever the gospel was proclaimed.
The woman was with Jesus, and worshipped Him.
What about you? Are you with Him?
