Danger of Sleep in Times of Temptation
Matthew 26:40-45
And he comes to the disciples, and finds them asleep, and said to Peter, What, could you not watch with me one hour?…


Another instance I have met with in story of a certain general, who going about his camp in the night, and finding the watch fast asleep upon the ground, nails him down to the place where he lay with his own sword, using this expression withal, "I found him dead, and I left him so."

(R. South, D. D.)
