Responding When the Rooster Crows!
Mark 14:72
A second time the rooster crowed. Then Peter called to mind the word that Jesus had said to him, “Before the rooster crows twice, you will deny Me three times.” And when he thought about it, he wept.
Personal Challenge
We are told in the scriptures and traditions of the church that God makes us strong in our weaknesses and uses us when we are broken. It is in these times that we recognize that by ourselves we can do nothing. Peter denied Christ when he was needed the most...not just once, but three times. But what Peter did after this betrayal is what set him apart from Judas who betrayed Christ. He pondered his actions and wept. He did not become despondent or belligerent in his sin but sought the Lord for forgiveness and healing. God uses us when we turn to Him in our weakness and in our repentance. Glory be to God!
