Denial and Amazing Love

We finish Mark today chs14-16 with the arrest and cruxifiction of Jesus. The story is the familiar Easter story told in more detail in Luke and John. Mark also tells of Peter's denial in ch 14. In 14:29, Peter swears that "even if everyone else deserts you, I never will". A few hours later, Peter does just that in vv66-72. We can feel sorry for Peter, or we can realize just how often we too deny Jesus. It might not be by our words, but can be by our actions. Do we judge others? Do we seek our comfort and security above others? Guilty as charged! Thankfully, those are some of the very reasons Jesus endured the crux and died for us! Amazing love is all we can say!
