DUNN PETER DENIES HIS LORD. nore for January 22: Luke 22:54 Golden Text: 1 Corinthians 10:12. The denial of Jesus by Peter is the saddest episode in the stormy 'ife of this impulsive, erratic leader f the twelve disciples. The Master had warned him telling him that Satan wanted to sift him like wheat, Sut that he had prayed that his faith night not fail. Jesus even definitely 'redicted the triple denial. But Peter paid no attention. He vas sure that his loyalty would re- 'ain steadfast. "Lord," he declared, 'T am ready to go with you to prison and to death." But, alas, he soon fell into a miry pit of infamy and disgrace. And he had only him- -elf to blame. Let it be said to Peter's credit nat he did not, like the other dis- sinles, forsake his Master. He did aot share in their contemptible, cow- irdly flight. He followed close be- ind Jesus, and thereby revealed a - very commendable devotion. Why was his loyalty so short- tved? Why did he fail so signally when the test came? It has been suggested that his self-confidence, vne of his most attractive qualities, proved to be his undoing. Peter, like many another strong-minded, determined leader, carried his self- assurance to excess. He was so cer- tain of success that he fumbled badly in the crisis. Over-confidence plung- ed him into ruin. Note that he clean forgot the Master's warning. This is a charac- teristic fault of human nature. We are plainly told what is in prospect, but when squarely confronted with the emergency our minds are a blank.
