PETER DENIES HIS LORD LESSON TEXT—Luke 23:31, 32. 54-<2. GOLDEN TEXT—Let him that thinketh he standeth take heed lest he fall.—I Corin thians 10:12. A One of the most heartbreaking ex periences we have as Christians is to find that one in whom we have had every confidence as a true and faithful follower of the Lord, has denied Him by going out into almost unbelievable sin. Often it seems that those who, like Peter, have had the loftiest and most inspiring fel lowship with the Lord, and who speak with the greatest ease about His love and grace, turn to the most reprehensible of sins. Lest any unbeliever who reads this begin to gloat over the failures of Christians, let him be reminded now of his own sin which needs his attention, and of the fact that though Peter fell, he arose again to victory and usefulness. May it also be said that none of us has any right to a “holier than thou’’ atti tude toward a brother who has fall en. “Let him that thinketh he standeth take heed lest he fall’’ (I Cor. 10:12), and let him in broken hearted sympathy help to restore his stricken brother “in the spirit of meekness: considering thyself, lest thou also be -empted” (Gal. 6:1). I. Sifted but Not Destroyed (w. 31, 32). Satan, wno is a far move powerful spiritual being than most-folk think, is actively interested ip tempting the Christian. He uses many clever devices. / Although he is not possessed of divine powers, he does have supernatural cunning and knows the weakness of each one of us. He knew the boastful self- assurance of Peter and was ready to tempt him at that point. Jesus knew this, and even in this dark hour shortly before His crucifixion He takes time to warn Peter, and with His warning to give the as surance that though it was to be tried, his faith was not to fail, and that he*was to be restored to fellow ship and service when he “turned again,’’ which is the correct trans lation for the word “converted." II. Self-assurance and Disgraceful Failure (w. 33, 34, 54-60). Peter was sure of himself and of his consecration to the Lordi man who stands in that place is in grave danger. It is not long before we find Peter, apparently presum ing on h’j own ability to stand fast, consorting with the enemies of Christ, warming himself by their fire. Someone has suggested that the great spiritual problem of our day is not the conflict between the Church and the world; nor is it to determine how the Church can best serve in the world, but rather what to do about the world which has gotten into the Church. How did worldliness get into the Church? The members brought it there after they had gone out and warmed them selves at the world’s fire, and fellow- shiped with the world in ungodly liv ing. The denials made by Peter seem almost unbelievable in the life of one who had been in immediate fel lowship with the Lord and who had seen His glory. We have here a revelation of the fact that “the heart is deceitful above all things and des perately wicked; who can know it?” (Jer. 17:9). We agree with Dr. Wil bur M. Smith: “This is of the Dev il This is humanity sinking to the lowest plane of base ingratitude. This is shame upon shame." One might have hoped that one denial would bring quick and sincere re pentance, but instead it leads the way to a second and to a third. There seemed to be nothing that could stop Peter, until “the Lord turned and looked” at him. This suggests the only effective way to deal with backsliders. Argument, pleading, even shaming them, will do no good. We must bring them to the place where they meet their Lord. HI. The Look of Love and a Bro ken Heart (w. 61, 62). What was in the look of Jesus is perhaps best expressed by Alexan der Maclaren: “It spoke of Christ’s knowledge, of Christ’s pain, of Christ’s love.” The backslider needs first of all to realize that the Lord knows all shout his denials and sin. He has been hiding things from his family and frifnds, denying accusations, trying to cover up his guilt. Let him now abandon every such effort. Jesus knows all about it. The second thing to be realized is that he has added to the pain and sorrow of his Lord. For a believer to turn away from Him is no light matter, to be casually dealt with. He needs to be deeply conscious ox the wounding of the heart of the Lord, as well as of the damage done to God’s people and His cause in the earth. But above all it was a look of love. The Lord deals in tenderness with the backslider. While he never can or will condone sin. He loves the sinner, and especially does He love the one who belongs to Him but who has gone astray.
