Grace and peace to you from our Lord Jesus Christ.
In stark contrast to what Jesus is going through, Peter is warming himself by the fire. He has forsaken his Lord, and is now looking after his own interests. I think Peter is cold because he has left the warmth of Jesus' presence. So many times we talk about Jesus as a light, and this is true. But I think Jesus is also what keeps us warm, spiritually speaking. Jesus keeps us safe and gives us everything we need, including warmth for the bitter-cold times we face on our journey of faith. Peter is missing a few things because he has left Jesus. He is missing that warmth, he is missing that security. When we leave Jesus we lose everything, but when we are with Jesus we have everything. God bless you.
