4/9/09 Mark 14: 66-72

SCRIPTURE:
(Please share the verse(s) which speak to you)
And immediately a cock crowed a second time. And Peter remembered how Jesus had made the remark to him, “Before the cock crows twice, you will deny Me three times”. And he began to weep. (Mark 14:72 NAS)
OBSERVATION:
This is from the night that Jesus was arrested. Peter (the disciple) denies Jesus after earlier promising to never deny Jesus.
APPLICATION:
We are not much different from Peter. With actions and words we deny Jesus when we don’t accept the responsibility of being a Christian. Sometimes we neglect to help others when it does not fit our schedules. Sometimes we deny Jesus when we hear insulting language and do not seek to right the wrong. Sometimes we deny Jesus by “accident” and other times not. It hurts when we realize we have done this and like Peter we weep. But there is good news. Just as Peter was forgiven so are we.
