Luke 22:47-62
Jesus was arrested by the chief priest, the officers of the temple guard, and the elders. "Judas, are you betraying the Son of Man with a kiss?"
Jesus asked them "Am I leading a rebellion, that you have come with swords and clubs?... But this is your hour-- when darkness reigns."
Peter three times denied Jesus before the rooster crows. When Jesus looked straight at Peter, Peter remembered the word the Lord had spoken to him. And he went outside and wept bitterly.
Peter is brave enough to keep within sight of Jesus as he is led away. But with nothing to do but wait, courage oozes洩漏 away and fear takes control. Three times Peter says what he swore he would never say.
Why?
Even his leading disciple denies Jesus. But one look from him is enough to break the big fisherman's heart.
Jesus came to this world with love and peace, and he comes without rebellions. And he is the King of this world.
Just at that moment it is the time of dark, Jesus have to be crucified to save all of us from the sin.
If I was peter, I believed that I will do like Peter or escaped away.
How?
The way of Jesus walked is love and humble, but walked with power and honor. Cross seems shame but it is honor and treasure to all of his followers.
