The Fall: April 7

Read Luke 22:55-62. Today's culture may not be receptive to the Gospel, but it's unlikely that any of us have risked imprisonment or death because of our faith in Jesus. Yet even still there are all sorts of ways that we can deny Him. We might avoid talking about our faith, church, our beliefs, or Jesus Himself. At work, at school, with our neighbors or our friends, we too may go strangely silent when there's an opportunity to share because we too are inclined to look out for ourselves first and foremost.

Read the text carefully again and see what word or phrase sticks out to you. Why do you think that is meaningful to you?

What areas of your life don't reflect your love for Jesus? How do you respond to the bitter grief that accompanies sin?
