"It is through trials that Faith is exercised and developed more and more." George Muller

Sunday we will take a look at two separate denials – one by betrayal and the other by fear.  Judas sold out Jesus – for money!  Peter sold out Jesus – by fear.  Think of the contrast between these two disciples – both loved by Jesus – both trained by Jesus – both committed to Jesus.  Both failing at critical moments of trial. Sunday we will join them in the Garden for the arrest and follow them to the house of the High Priest for the arraignment of Jesus by Annas.  The Scriptures begin to weave an account of deceit and disappointment.  We must be warned by both!  Sometimes we think that our life would be better without the temptations or trials presented by the world – but would we?  God allows trials and struggles for our benefit – though they don’t feel that way when we are in the middle of them.  We can learn from both – Judas and Peter.  I will try to take us through these several verses and share some life lessons from God’s Word.  See you Sunday!
