Read John 13:21-33, 36-38
Peter said to him, "Master, why can I not follow you now? I will lay down my life for you." Jesus answered, "Will you lay down your life for me? Amen, amen, I say too you, the cock will not crow before you deny me three times."
Lord Jesus, give us courage to follow in your way; the way of self-donation. May we know that peace that comes from loving to the point of sacrifice; may we know the joy of participation in your paschal mystery.
Hello Stan,
May you have a blessed day also and may your business prosper.
Charles, Great scripture! We do what we know we shouldn't even though we know better. Thank goodness that we are saved by grace.
How quickly we can say we will follow Christ and then have fear to really follow Him all the way. Thank God for His grace and His Holy Spirit to help comfort and make us bold.
Charles, we could try to second guess Peter but most if not all of us would have done the same thing he did but he sure did redeem himself after that.
