Peter, mpetuous andse lf-confden uses a Sword
Peter the brave Peter the mpetuous sef-confdent
Peter pulled out sword and said to himself T will defend
my Master The capors asked question but Peter
waited for the Savior to answer it. He bazed away and
cut off an ear of the high priests servant Then the Savior
said Put up thy sword They that take the sword shall
perish by the sword The Savior would not force
for how then could the Scriptures be fulfilled and what
would Christ and His little company before all
those Roman soldiers and officers of the temple and the
rabble? Why had not the Savior been able to speak
as He did, from the human standpoint those soldiers and
the officers of the temple and the rabbe could smashed
the Savior and all His Apostles to the earth in minute
Though Angels could defend Christ His death
fell back and Christ who had eleven Apostles, said 1T
could pray the Father and He would give Me twelve egons

fulfilled? The Savior must go calmly forward and meet
His death He taken before Caiaphas. Did you
notice how the Sanhedrn violated it's rules? They

Fear, the Insidiousness o a Lie
Now what had become of all the Apostles during this
time They all had forsaken the Christ It is written that
Peter followed affair off, WE'LL is better follow afar
off than not at ALL John got Peter place inside the very
hall itself and there damse that up to Peter and
said simple words that everybody could
stand Peter in cowardy way evaded her question and
asked, II do not understand what you say"
You have read of cities being destroyed by glaciers
but the mghtes glacier formed time simply
tiny snowflake then other flakes, then much snow
then the haws and the cold freezes it. The glacier
forms and it down the mountains The motion
is mperceptbe at first but all at that mighty
of ice and snow that single fake down
and bures great city and destroys thousands of lives
So the Apotle Peter became coward. He evaded the
question Then the second time when he asked about
his being disciple of Jesus he denied it with OATH
He lied The first time he evaded the second time he lied
and the third time when he told his accent betrayed
him no rcnd nd no
