Imagine with me… Peter from a distance, watching Jesus as He hung on the cross that day for six hours…
As he sits watching he begins to reflect back on things Jesus said, events that had occured
His memories and reflections are broken up with moments of weeping
Over the last three years Peter had seen Jesus…
Heal the lame
Give sight to the blind
He had touched and healed the lepers
He had forgiven those in sin
Floods of statements Jesus had made now raced through his thoughts… questions Jesus posed now ca,e back to him...
Who Am I Peter?
This question was a powerful question, answering this question defined so much, the answer had implications that would impact not only this life but all eternity… Peter would answer Matthew 16:16
Now Peter watches the Son of God hang on the cross
Peter must have smiled at the response of Jesus Matthew 16:17-18
What power!
What confidence! Jesus was going to build His church and Peter would be a part of that!
No doubt Peter would have remembered the conversation that followed… Matthew 16:21-23
How??? Why??? Peter did not want Jesus to die… how could this be God’s plan??? Peter must have recalled the words and events from the very night before as well…
The Night Before
Washing of the feet
He washed his feet… after refusing he let Jesus serve him this way
Peter may have even pondered how Jesus even would wash the feet of Judas… the betrayer!
Broken Bread
His body broken Luke 22:19
Peter could now see the broken body of Jesus… BUT FOR HIM? WHY?
The Covenant of the Cup Luke 22:20
Peter may have pondered how he thought Jesus was just being figurative
Now as he sat watching Jesus hang on the cross His blood shed, poured out, spilt for his own sin
Coming Denial by Peter Mark 14:27-31
As Peter would remember the evening before he may have burst into tears once again as he recalled Jesus words…
“I will die for you”… how these words must have felt hollow now as Peter sat watching from a distance His Jesus dying on the cross
As Peter would have these words echoing in his head his mind may have gone to the garden…
In The Garden
Jesus ask Peter and the others to pray with Him
Jesus comes back to see them all sleeping… but addresses Peter directly Mark 14:37-38
Oh how might he have prayed had he known what was coming
“Willing spirit, but Weak Flesh”
The Kiss, The Words, The Sword, The Distance
How could Judas, a friend, a fellow disciple of Jesus???
“I Am He”… that close to Jesus, seeing His power, Peter felt ready to take on an army
Peter responded like he thought things should handled… Jesus corrects him
Disillusioned… Peter allows fear to settle in, confusion overtakes him and he finds himself distancing himself from Jesus
The DISTANCE… Mark 14:54
Pondering how he drifted so quick, so far…
Is that how it happened?
Peter’s mind may now with hesitation, regret, and pain remember what was next…
Peter’s Denials
Fear, weakness, confusion, panic
1) Servant girl
2) Another servant girl
3) Relative of the man in the garden with the ear
The Rooster and eyes of Jesus… Luke 22:61-62
From a Distance
Peter observes Jesus broken body
Peter sees the blood poured out
Peter ponders His death… His words… (“FORGIVE THEM”) and then almost a victory cry as Jesus breathes his last crying out “It is finished!”
Peter just watches as they take His body, lay it in a tomb.
Peter so many times had said he would die for Jesus, YET… now he witnesses Jesus die, he sees Jesus die in his place, for his sin, taking the punishment of sin… ALL SIN!
Jesus died in Peter’s place for Peter
Jesus died for you and I in our place
Peter wanted to be good enough
Peter wanted to be strong enough
Peter had to realize it was not about Peter… It was about Jesus WHO IS ENOUGH!!!
What Love!… “For God so loved the world, He gave His only Son”
What Grace!… “For by grace are you saved”
As Peter ponders Jesus’ death it would not be long after that He would ponder this AMAZING GRACE that Jesus had given freely not only to him but for all mankind.
Once Peter understood this Grace others would not see him following at a distance.
