Be Alert and of Sober Mind - Phil Kendon
The apostle Peter writes this letter near the end of his life and it is clear that he has in mind some of his experiences with Jesus as he writes. It was Jesus who urged his disciples to watch and pray in the Garden of Gethsemane just before his death and Peter is urging us to do the same. We are following in the footsteps of the disciples who have gone before and experiencing the same challenges as other disciples around the world. Now is the time to “be alert and of sober mind.”
