8/15/21 Go Back On God (Matt 26:57-73)


1. How was Jesus' statement in Matthew 26:64 a rebuke to the High Priest?  How should it change our outlook and actions?


2. Unlike the other disciples, Peter followed Jesus to his trial, but at a distance.  In what ways do we try to "straddle the fence" and in what concrete ways can we correct such fence-straddling?


3. At the Last Supper, Peter claimed to be ready to follow - and die for Jesus if necessary, but when the crisis came, Peter failed and was deeply ashamed.  How can we be ready for the spiritual battles that has planned for us?
