Matthew 26:75 “And Peter remembered the word of Jesus, which said unto him, Before the cock crow, thou shalt deny me thrice. And he went out, and wept bitterly.” Peter had experienced the greatness of God’s grace and the sweetness of His presence. Yet when faced with the pressure of the lost world around him he bailed out! His denial of the Lord was clear, energetic and consistent. What would our answer be if the question was, “In denying our Lord, how much are we like Peter?” Are we denying Christ by adapting to the pressure of the world to conform? Are we denying Christ by abandoning God’s call to live rightly in the midst of a wicked world? Today, let us avoid the pain and grief that denying Christ brings. Let us kindly but clearly identify ourselves with Christ by the words we use, the choices we make and the actions we take.
