40 Days of Easter - April 9, 2011

PETER DENIES JESUS
Matthew 26: 69-75

Focal Verses
Matthew 26:70b "I know not what thou sayest."
Matthew 26:72b "I do not know the man."
Matthew 26:74b "I know not the man."

Do you claim to be a Christian but deny Christ in your relationship with friends and fellow workers? When you tell that little white lie, are you denying Christ? When profanity or gossip comes out of your mouth, are you denying Christ? When you are dishonest in reporting income on your federal tax return, are you denying Christ?

Father God, let us know You and not be ashamed but recognize You for who You are and what You have done for us. In His Name, Amen.
