A Question for Peter
In 1 Corinthians 10:12, the apostle Paul warns his readers, “Let anyone who thinks that he stands take heed lest he fall.” We find one poignant example of such a fall in Paul’s fellow apostle, Peter, who on the night of Jesus’ arrest thrice denied even knowing his Lord and Master. Peter’s denial, recorded in each of the Gospels, flashes out like a beacon in the night, a warning and reminder to the church that Jesus’ death—the same death that Peter had sought to prevent!—is the very basis for our forgiveness, atonement, and joy.
