Would Peter Have Denied Jesus After These Experiences? by Comingo: 12:24am On Aug 23, 2009
Jesus had a disciple named Peter, who, having much Christian faith denied him. Jesus, though previously aware that Peter would be a traitor, yet gave him the keys of the kingdom of Heaven, and told him that whatsoever he bound on earth should be bound in Heaven. Peter was to have denied Jesus three times before the cock should crow (Matt. xxvi. 34). The cock crowed before Peter's second denial (Mark xiv. 68). Commentators urge that the words used do not refer to the crowing of any particular cock, but to a special hour of the morning called "cock-crow" But if the Gospel be true the explanation is false. Peter's denial becomes the more extraordinary when we remember that he had seen Moses, Jesus, and Elias talking together, and had heard a voice from a cloud say, "This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased." As Peter could thus deny Jesus after having heard God vouch his divinity, and Peter not only escapes punishment but gets the office of gate-keeper to Heaven, how much more should those escape punishment and obtain reward who only deny because they cannot help it, and who have been left without any corroborative evidence of sight or hearing!

Really i've also been thinking about this. then come to think of our christian brothers who havent seen him face to face, or these visions that Peter saw and still believe,

Ever heard of the word 'grace'? grace and truth came by Jesus Christ. John 1v17. It's a lesson of hope for you, that you who'se not 'sinned as much as Peter' can also achieve great things for God's kingdom. The klesson is as simple as that, except you want it in sermon format.
