Those old preachers would lean low over the pulpit and say are we all a lot like Peter was, the night the Sanhedrin came for our Savior?Cannonpointer » 30 Jun 2023, 10:02 pm » wrote: ↑ I would shoot MYSELF, to show the active shooter what a crazy **** I am, and scare him into surrendering.
Yeah, man. Brain **** the kid.
Man, I just read that. I gotta stop smoking weed.
Peter was called The Rock. He swore to Christ in the Garden he’d die for Him, before he’d let Him be taken away.
And the Master looked at him and said Peter, I love you,
But you’ll deny me thrice, before the cock crows twice.
(No wonder, as a kid you could not have paid me to miss church. No better entertainment ever existed than the old time Campbellite sermons of my youth)
But the story of Peter in the Garden applies today.
We seem all really brave in the Garden, before the danger.
But when the time comes to chose between living another day or facing death in the face today,
We might decide to postpone that trip across the veil until tomorrow, at least.
