“No!” Peter declared emphatically. “Even if I have to die with you, I will never deny you!” And all the others vowed the same. (Mark 14:31)
When Jesus foretold His death and resurrection(before), Peter didn’t want to take it. Now when Jesus talks about denial, Peter’s says even if i have to die with you I will not deny you. Notice other disciples said the same. Later on Peter denies 3 times, although when Jesus foretold it Peter didn't believe it or he refused to think so!
In today’s context, when do we deny God..? When we misrepresent God..are we not denying Him?? We read on to see after the 3rd denial Jesus’ turns back and looks at Peter with an intimacy and in grace not in anger or bitterness! Today, jesus is watching us……does our way of life deny or misrepresent God ?? Let us ask God to give us deeper understanding of Him, that we might reflect Christ to people around us.
