Fire
Scripture Passage: John
18:12-19, 25-27
It was night and Peter was cold. He joined the officers
who had arrested Jesus so he could get warm. Peter was
in the territory of the enemy, warming himself at the enemies'
fire. That was a dangerous place to be. He became afraid
that they might arrest him too, if they knew he was a follower
of Jesus, so he denied His Lord. We
need to avoid places and situations where we are open to temptation.
Questions:
1. What did Peter reply to the girl's questions?
He denied
being one of Jesus' disciples.
2. How did Peter keep warm?
By standing around the fire with
the servants and officers.
3. How many times did Peter deny
Jesus?
3 times.
Memory verse: James
1:14
Temptation comes from the lure of our own evil desires. (NLT)
