“And he said to all, “If anyone would come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross daily and follow me. For whoever would save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for my sake will save it. For what does it profit a man if he gains the whole world and loses or forfeits himself? For whoever is ashamed of me and of my words, of him will the Son of Man be ashamed when he comes in his glory and the glory of the Father and of the holy angels. But I tell you truly, there are some standing here who will not taste death until they see the kingdom of God.””

All,
This stands out because Jesus says, “For whoever is ashamed of me and of my words, of him will the Son of Man be ashamed when he comes in his glory and the glory of the Father and of the holy angels.” Do you think Peter remembered these words after he denied Christ three times? Do you think about these words when you don’t speak about Jesus when the opportunity happens? Jesus forgave Peter by asking Peter if he loves Him? Do you love him more then anything? Please pray that we and our friends love Jesus more than anything. Please pray for those in the path of Hurricane Florence.
