  1. John 18:12-27 JESUS - MisTRIED AND Denied

  2. Jesus prays late in Gethsemane Judas brings the arrest party Jesus literally stuns them with a few words Peter foolishly attacks a Temple guard Jesus heals Malchus’s ear Jesus submits humbly to his arrest The other disciples flee The story so far

  3. Jesus is Bound and brought to Annas

  4. 49Then one of them, named Caiaphas, who was high priest that year, spoke up, "You know nothing at all! 50You do not realize that it is better for you that one man die for the people than that the whole nation perish.” John 11:49-50

  5. 36Simon Peter asked him, "Lord, where are you going?"       Jesus replied, "Where I am going, you cannot follow now, but you will follow later." 37Peter asked, "Lord, why can't I follow you now? I will lay down my life for you." 38Then Jesus answered, "Will you really lay down your life for me? I tell you the truth, before the rooster crows, you will disown me three times! JOHN 13:36-38

  6. You are not one of his disciples, Are You?

  7. The High Priest questions Jesus

  8. Belief in Jesus is not an irrational leap in the dark but it does involve faith. • But what do you stand to lose? • Your moral independence • Your freedom to do as you please Will you give Jesus a fair hearing?

  9. Why did Peter deny Jesus? • He is cold and tired • He is afraid for his life • He hangs around in a dangerous place with dangerous people • His faith in Jesus is still weak • He is self-confident

  10. By not speaking of him • to those who don’t know him • to each other • By failing to live for him • By being too busy to obey his promptings • By failing to identify ourselves with him • By expecting too little of him • By substituting religion for relationship How do we deny Jesus?

  11. We are afraid of people rather than God We love the pleasures and comforts of sin We don’t know Jesus well enough to represent him We trust in our own strength We don’t expect God to work through us Because we have denied him before why do we deny Jesus?

  12. The cock crows Jesus looks at Peter (Luke 22:61) Peter goes out and weeps bitterly Jesus graciously restores Peter (John 21) Peter goes on to become a bold messenger of Jesus and is the means of many hearing and believing the gospel Will you let Jesus change you from one who often denies him to an effective witness What happeNS NEXT?
