Luke 22:61 " And the Lord turned, and looked upon Peter. And Peter remembered the word of the Lord, how He had said unto him, Before the cock crow, thou shalt deny me thrice".
The word of God tells us to "choose ye this day whom we will serve". everyday we are faced with the question as to whom we will serve. Now this is not a question or judgment on ones salvation, it is about ones witness. Each morning we need to ask our self to whom will our life bear witness to, rather it be to the Lord Jesus or to the powers of this world, the decision is a daily and often made many times through out the day.
In our text today we have the denial of Jesus by Peter. Now earlier Peter swore he was willing to not only go to prison with Christ but also to die with Him. But as we see he denied Jesus at a time when a witness was needed. How many times have we either through our actions or inactions have we denied Christ. How many times have we had a chance to bear witness to who Christ is and for the love of money, the need to belong, or the fear of judgment did we say we don't know the man? Now you might have never verbally said you don't know Him, but your life style, actions or behavior says it.
How will you choose? Will you deny Christ this day? Will that which you choose to do today bear witness to who Christ is in your life or does it deny knowing Him? When Christ looks upon you will He see a life that bears witness or will He see a life that denies knowing Him....
