Peter’s Trouble
ok now on to Peter:
Ok now to peter:
Peter was following but afar off, from a safe distance.
This is almost always how we get ourselves into trouble.
We follow - but afar off.
We follow - we go to church, pray, read, attend bible study - we follow
But some part of our lives we keep at a safe distance - so that we are able to keep a secret life, with secret thoughts, that no-one knows about.
But:
Anyways: Peter though that no harm could come following Jesus at a safe distance.
Lets see what happened:
Jesus is inside the High priests place on trial, people are lying about him, slapping him and spitting on Him - Peter is still outside in the courtyard:
mat 26>69-70
Peter Denied Jesus.
We cannot make light of this.
Peter actually said that he was not a follower of Christ.
Now a few things to note:
First this is very unlike the Peter we know:
Also:
Peter was ready to die and ready to kill!
This behaviour of Peter in the palace court, is very odd, it does not fit with what we know about him.
Also it cannot be overstated: Peter’s Soul was suddenly in mortal peril
But nothing happens to Peter, he gets away with it.
Then…
mat 26:71-72:
Now things are getting bad.
Lets not excuse Peter’s first denial - it was cowardice and wrong, but at the same time, lets just offer him extra grace because no one is perfect and after all “Let him who is without sin cast the first stone…”:
But now, a second denial, with an oath.
Once again:
1: This is very unlike Peter and if his soul was not in danger before it is now.
Come on Peter, you know better than this:
Some thing is very wrong.
Surely this madness is going to stop?
Let see:
He did it again.
Thats 3 times..
And I’m sure he would have done it a 4th and a 5th and as many times as he felt he had to.
What finally stopped his madness?
What finally woke Peter up out of his Spiritual distraction?
The rooster crowing.
And when the rooster crowed, when Peter snapped out of it, what was his response to the crowing of the rooster?
He wept bitterly.
The Chilling Sound of the Rooster
Let me ask 2 question:
What did the crowing of the rooster do peters feeling and life at the moment?
It broke him.
Peters wept bitterly, that is deep pain.
But what did the crowing of the rooster do for Peters long term spiritual life?
It saved his soul.
If that rooster had not crowed - and it was a god ordained crow by the way:
So we can put it this way:
If God did not send that rooster to crow, peter would not have woken up out of his spiritual sleep, he would not have stopped and he would probably be in Hell.
IE: Thank God for the crowing of the Rooster, but also when you hear the rooster crow you will weep bitter tears.
Thank God for the crowing of the Rooster, but also when you hear the rooster crow you will weep bitter tears.
You Also have a Rooster
Roosters wake us up.
We have used them as alarm clocks for years.
Thats what they do, at the right time in the mornings they begin crowing loudly and their calling wakes us up from our sleep.
Now the Spiritual Crowing of the rooster that Peter experienced first had does the exact same thing:
We fall asleep spiritually and i know that because i see and you know when you, like Peter, start behaving in a way that is not like your christian character.
Like Peter, you start following afar off and you start hanging around with the wrong crowed or start talking the wrong talk or starts behaving in a unchristian way.
And you start living in a way that puts you in danger of falling away.
Your loving Father takes note of this church, he knows the very hairs on your head.
But there is always grace.
The rooster did not crow after Peters first denial.
A fall does not mean a falling away.
We are but guest and prone to make mistakes.
Peter is in danger, but he has not abandoned all reason…yet.
________
After the second denial, the rooster mouth is still held shut.
No need to bring the poor man to ruin, he had not yet set a precedent.
Peter may yet still find his courage.
________
But then, a third time.
That third time made a few things clear:
Peter was in a spiritual delusion.
He was asleep when he should have been awake, and in his mad spiritual slumber he had walked to the very edge of Hell’s cliff.
One more step and it would have been eternal fire for his soul.
So his loving Father, who art in Heaven, was does God do?
He looses the beak of the rooster:
“ Crow now bird!.
Cry at the top of your5 lungs!
Wake my servant from his madness!”
The bird crows and as it does instantly Peter shake his head, he awakens from madness and finds himself in a place he should not be, with a people he should not be with and having done a thing he swore he would never do.
And the reality of his sin breaks him there and then and he weeps with out any comfort or help.
I want to warn you about the crowing of the rooster.
The crowing of the rooster comes in many forms.
To put it simple:
The crowing of the rooster that is that tragic event that causes you too finally wake up and see what you are doing that you your should may be saved!
and it always leaves you in bitter tears of anguish.
Listen to my warning:
The rooster crows in many ways:
To the person having an affair - your affair will send you to hell.
Know this: Your rooster will be the day your spouse find out, they will divorcee you and take your children, they will leave you with nothing and you will know the meaning of sorrow - but you will end the air and your should will be saved.
________
To the person who looks at pornography, it is only a matter of time because you late night habits are accidentally shared on social media.
You will loose your dignity, your friends will find out, your wife may leave you, your children will know.
you will be devastated when that rooster crows, but if it causes you to snap out of it, God will cause it crow.
