Grace and peace to you from our Lord Jesus Christ.
Just as Jesus predicted, Peter has denied Jesus. Peter, who throughout the gospel has been so zealous, denies being a disciple of Jesus. He is afraid to follow Jesus because he knows to follow Jesus means to take up Jesus' cross. There is a cost to discipleship, and sometimes the cost is our own suffering. That cost was too much for Peter to handle. Peter should be our lesson. When push came to shove Peter walked away from Jesus. What will we do when we are shoved? Will we walk away, or will we stand for Jesus? God bless you.
