Still Pointing At Peter?

        We must have heard of the story of how one of Jesus's finest denied him when the chips were down. Denied any knowledge of a man he had spent the better part of 3 solid years with. 
        What I find intriguing was that the Master told him before hand more like a forewarning..."Peter, you are going to betray me and the sad part is you wouldn't even know you have done it until you get reminded by a chicken"
       A good definition of the word deny is "refuse to admit the truth or existence of." Very well, Peter refused to admit the truth that he knew Jesus, then again how many times have we done the exact same thing? The only difference is that no chicken is singing every time we do it.
       When we refuse to pray, read our Bible, spend time with our creator, we deny Jesus. when we are lazy spiritually, prefer to spend hours watching the television, phones and internet instead of adding to the virtues God has given us we deny Jesus.Watch closely and see how our characters deny Jesus on a daily basis.
        There may be no chicken but the Holy Spirit through our conscience pricks us telling us something is off. When you point a finger to someone in accusation, four others are pointing right back at you.
         SIN: Simple Instruction Neglected.

Be Blessed and go to church tomorrow. Jesus loves you!
