“Now Peter sat without in the palace: and a damsel came unto
him, saying, Thou also wast with Jesus of Galilee. But he denied
before them all, saying, I know not what thou sayest. And when he
was gone out into the porch, another maid saw him, and said unto
them that were there, This fellow was also with Jesus of Nazareth.
And again he denied with an oath, I do not know the man.”
Matthew 24: 69-72
King James Bible
There was a time in my life when I was ashamed to carry the Bible.
I would hide it in my purse for fear of being ridiculed. I was denying
Jesus. Are you denying Jesus by your actions and words?
I think that we hurt the Heart of Jesus when we have a conversation
with someone and never mention His Name. We brag about our children
and family, but do we brag about Jesus? We go out to eat with friends
and family, but do we ever talk about how much Jesus means to us
and how He has provided for us and protected us? May God forgive
us for denying Jesus!
When we won’t even mention the name of Jesus, we are just
as guilty as Peter was when he said, “I do not know the man”.
Every day of our lives, every one of us deny Jesus in some way,
either by our words or actions.
I challenge all of us to start bragging on Jesus and showing His
Picture. When others look at you, do they see the Eyes and Smiles
of Jesus, or do they see satan in your attitude?
