In these three paragraphs, we see two things. Peter denying Jesus to save himself; Jesus denying himself to save Peter. But there is more.
Have you ever wondered what it would have been like to be alive during the time Jesus was on earth? Surely watching him live would grow our faith more than simply reading about him on a computer screen! No, it wouldn’t. Here’s why.
When Jesus says he is the true vine of God, it isn’t simply a self-declaration of his identity. It is a statement that defines our place within God’s workings in this world. In it we find both a warning and an encouragement.
What stands in contrast to worry and anxiety is not peace and quiet. It’s trust. When Jesus tells us to believe, he’s really asking us to trust him. It’s less a leap into darkness and more a reliance on an anchor’s strength.
When Judas betrayed Jesus, we realise the insidious nature of sin. But at the same time, we see the glory of God. His ways are not our ways. He is glorious in ways we don’t understand.
Studies in the Bible
“Courage is not the absence of fear, but rather knowing that something else is more important than fear.” This is true for lots of things in life, including evangelism.
If the apostle Paul were to write a 12 Rules for Life book, one of which would certainly be this. It is a radical and counter-intuitive idea that we should become what we’re not because of who we are. But that’s exactly what Paul says.
A book review of Paul Grimmond’s great little book on dating. Let’s face it, you need to know this.

Despite its token value, it created a dichotomy between the law of the land (which recognised Caesar’s rule) and the law of God (which affirms God’s rule). This is the underlying issue in v.17, which could be read “Is it lawful according to religious law to pay taxes to Caesar which was required by secular law?”
Death is the one guaranteed event in everyone’s life which no one wants to talk about. This study is a (very) brief look at the question “what happens after I die?”
