Text: Mark 14: 53-72
Jesus was first put before the religious authorities (Jewish Sanhedrin) under the leadership of Caiaphas (v. 53). The accusations were false (v.55); but they still wanted Him sentenced to death. At some point, Peter denied that he knew who Jesus was, despite his earlier pledge to stand with Jesus in trial (v. 31) even unto death.
Jesus Christ was tortured for you and me to be delivered. Take God’s incredible gift of salvation (2 Cor.9:15) through His Son’s death on the cross seriously.
Meditate on verse 72. How are you going to apply it to your life?
My Lord and Father in Heaven forgive me for the many times I have denied You through my thoughts, speech and actions; and make me worthy of a portion in Your salvation plan. In the Name of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, I have prayed this. Amen.
