2. Mark 14:66-72 NIV
• 66 While Peter was below in the
courtyard, one of the servant girls of the
high priest came by. 67 When she saw
Peter warming himself, she looked closely
at him. “You also were with that
Nazarene, Jesus,” she said. 68 But he
denied it. “I don’t know or understand
what you’re talking about,” he said, and
went out into the entryway. 69 When the
servant girl saw him there, she said again
to those standing around, “This fellow is
one of them.”
3. • 70 Again he denied it. After a little while,
those standing near said to Peter, “Surely you
are one of them, for you are a Galilean.” 71 He
began to call down curses, and he swore to
them, “I don’t know this man you’re talking
about.”72 Immediately the rooster crowed the
second time. Then Peter remembered the word
Jesus had spoken to him: “Before the rooster
crows twice you will disown me three
times.” And he broke down and wept.
5. What is the implication of the word
“warm”?
• A; Speaks of natural Condition
(Dawn time)- Peter start his day by
denying the lord Jesus 3 times.
• It is important to start the day right.
This is the primary purposed of Jesus
teaching Peter to be wise in starting his
day.
• whatever success of the entire day
depends of how you start your day.
• John 15;5 “without me you can do nothing”
6. • B;speaks of Spiritual condition
• Peter was warmed, he forgot his
calling to be a fishers of men. His
heart was driven by fear,
desperate and Hopeless.
• It really happened to Peter and it
might happen to us.
• Philippians 2:12
New International Version Therefore, my
dear friends, as you have always obeyed--
not only in my presence, but now much
more in my absence--continue to work out
your salvation with fear and trembling ,
7. His life is the best pictures or examples
for us today. Even though we are true
disciples and we follow the
steps of our Lord Jesus there
are times that our spiritual life warm
(not on fire) before the Lord.
• What shall we do?
• V 72- …And he broke down and wept.
• This verse speaks of repentance.
• Repent and do it no more.
8. The implication of rooster’s crows ?
• I;; it is a reminder of our
promises we made before the
Lord.
• Matthew 26:33 New International
Version (NIV) 33 Peter replied,
“Even if all fall away on account of
you, I never will.”
9. , “Promise is made to be broken”.
• But 2 Corinthians 1;20
New Living Translation “For all of God's
promises have been fulfilled in Christ
with a resounding "Yes!
It implies that every dawn time the duty o
the rooster is to remind us of two things:
• 1; that we should keep our Promise before the
Lord and work for it.
• 2; that God fulfilled his Promises
10. • II; It is a reminder that whatever we do,
Jesus is observing us.
• Luke 22; 60 But Peter said, "Man, I do not know
what you are saying!" Immediately, while he was
still speaking, the rooster crowed. 61 And the Lord
turned and looked at Peter. And Peter
remembered the word of the Lord, how He had said
to him, "Before the rooster crows , you will deny
Me three times.“
• This gives us an awareness that we must live
a life that is pleasing to the Lord.
• this verse speaks to us that whatever
conditions of life we have, we are not alone.
11. III; it is a reminder that when we fail; turn
back and start again.
A new day = a new beginning, start over
– Peter is forgiven through repentance
– Peter can't undo the denial
– But he reminded us that Failure is not the
ending; that God is a God of a second
chance
12. • One day some people came to the master
and asked: How can you be happy
in a world of such impermanence,
where you cannot protect your loved ones
from harm, illness or death?
•
The master held up a glass and said:
Someone gave me this glass;
It holds my water admirably
and it glistens in the sunlight.
I touch it and it rings!
One day the wind
may blow it off the shelf,
or my elbow
may knock it from the table.
If that will happen, I will turn back and
start keeping it again
