Mark chapter 4 tells of Peter denying Jesus during his trial. This chapter is full. It also recaps the Last Supper, prayer in the Garden, and Jesus's condemnation by the Sanhedrin. It was the denial of Christ by Peter that struck me the most today.
Yesterday I wrote about being prepared for the return of Christ. I read that it would become increasingly difficult to follow God and stay faithful to our beliefs as Christians. If Peter struggled, how much harder will it be for us? Peter watched the miracles, he saw Moses and Elijah, he truly believes all the Jesus stands for and has done. Yet, he denied ever knowing him. Will we have the strength to remain steadfast?
Just a recap for Genesis 44...
In this chapter, Joseph plots to catch Benjamin stealing from him to keep Benjamin in Egypt. Judah finally sets aside sibling rivalry and argues to set Benjamin free. Joseph caves!
