Introduction
Peter says that he is ready to die with Jesus, but Jesus tells him that he will deny Jesus three times. Jesus leaves the city and goes with his disciples to the Mount of Olives to pray, knowing that he will have to suffer. Judas betrays him with a kiss, and Jesus is arrested and questioned by the Council. Meanwhile, Peter denies that he knows Jesus, just as Jesus had predicted.
Today’s Scripture: Luke 22:42 (GNT)
“Father,” he said, “if you will, take this cup of suffering away from me. Not my will, however, but your will be done.”
Today’s Reading
Luke 22:31-71
Reflect
Reread verses 54-62. What promise had Peter made to Jesus (verse 33)? Why wasn’t he able to keep his promise? How did he feel after he denied Jesus? What does it mean to deny Jesus? How does this kind of denial take place in today’s world?
Pray
Lord Jesus, there are times when I have denied you. Help me find ways to claim and share your presence in my life, that I may share the good news of your salvation and love. In your holy name I pray. Amen.
Prayer Concern
Those who deny Christ
Tomorrow’s Reading
Luke 23:1-43: Jesus is tried before Pilate and Herod and sentenced to death.
