Evening: Psalms 36, 39; Mark 14:66-72
Why does Peter lie and deny Jesus. Is he afraid of suffering the same fate? Who would not be afraid? But fear is overcome when you believe in what you’re doing. Peter soon finds his purpose in the Way of Jesus. He becomes a founder of the Jesus movement and his confession is the cornerstone of the young church. Eventually, Peter will even be crucified himself because he believes so strongly in what Jesus is all about and he tells everyone. Because you are afraid does not mean that your fear is insurmountable once you see what it’s all for.
