Despite all of Peter's courage, he's crushed by that singular ancient fear shared by all humans.
voice-verified
The fear of exclusion, the fear of exile, the fear of being on the outside.
voice-verified
I don't think you could say he was people pleasing.
voice-verified
I mean in context, he's actually arguing with everyone.
voice-verified
He wasn't keeping the peace, and arguably he may not have cared what those specific people even thought about him.
voice-verified
But in that moment he was terrified that if he got pegged as a follower of Jesus, he would be ostracized by his people, he'd be cut off from his people, he'd be cast aside and forgotten, and that terrified him.
voice-verified
It terrified him more than denying the king he'd loyally served for three years.
voice-verified
So who are we to think that we're any better than Peter?
voice-verified
that we could have remained faithful when he didn't.
voice-verified
I don't think I am.
voice-verified
And that's a sobering thought.
voice-verified
Because following Jesus today isn't easy either.
voice-verified
Following him can make us feel like outsiders, make us feel excluded, make us feel weird, and that can cause us to trade away our most valuable treasure, Jesus.
voice-verified
According to all the other gospel accounts, Peter went out and wept after this.
voice-verified
He realized these weren't just convenient white lies, they were denials.
voice-verified
He realized that he treasured being on the inside more than he treasured Jesus.
voice-verified
And in a single moment, he knew that was a foolish choice.
voice-verified
We'll have to wait a few chapters to see how his story resolves.
voice-verified
So for now, I just want you to be self-reflective.
voice-verified
I want you to ask yourself, what are the ways you've denied Jesus?
