Mt26

The disciples "talked big" in the presence of Jesus, but were cowards at the moment of truth! For one brief moment, Peter took a stand and struck the high priest's servant, but even he ended the night with denying Jesus to a slave girl.

It has always been man's tendency to say one thing and actually do another! To talk the talk but not walk the walk. Only Jesus perfectly lived out the words He spoke. His perfection made possible our forgiveness. There is no doubt I would have been a cowering disciple.

The challenge today is for those of us who know Jesus to not be cowards, but to testify to the truth. Not only when we are with others who believe, but especially when we are with others who do not!

Don't be a coward.
