Truth or Fear: The Choices That Define Us

It is amazing how quickly fear can wipe away even the strongest bonds of friendship! In this chapter, we see the serenity and love of Jesus juxtaposed to the fear and lies of Peter. We see the self-sacrificing light of Jesus against the self-preserving darkness of Peter. This chapter is a beautiful metaphor of the little choices that we must all make each day. Do I choose truth and stand for love? Or do I choose fear and grasp for what feels like security in the moment? Jesus reminds us, “Whoever finds his life will lose it, and whoever loses his life for my sake will find it” (Matthew 10:39).
