Today I read Mathew 26, where Peter Denies Jesus. As I read this passage, my mind was telling me "Oh, you already know this...he denies him three times". I thought the message was about how know our faults and can and will use us regardless, as He did with Peter. After denying Him became our first Pope. However, I got the 73, where the men standing there went to Peter and said "Of course you are one of them. After all, the way you speak gives you away." and suddenly I had a "wow" moment. Why? Because I found it awesome that Peter couldn't hide who He was (Jesus friend), because he spoke like Jesus. When you spend time with someone, alot of time, you start to talk the same. You pick up similar gestures, and you might even start to look the same. I found it so cool, that Peter couldn't hide it. I want to be like Peter. I want people to know that Jesus is alive and working within me, just by the way I speak. I could be saying anything, not necessarily something preachy or about God at all ( Peter was denying Him), and people know who I roll with. I roll with Jesus! Wow... Wouldn't that be cool?
