A Safe Distance

"Peter followed at a safe distance until they got to the Chief Priest's courtyard, where he mingled with the servants and warmed himself at the fire." (Mark14:54; MSG)

Jesus had just been taken by force from the Garden of Gethsemane to be murdered on the Cross.

Where's Peter?

• At a "safe distance"
• "Mingling" with those who want Jesus dead
• "Warming" himself at the fire

I am glad he was so "comfortable".

Where are you? Where am I?

May we not follow Jesus at a "safe" distance, mingling with those who hate him while making ourselves all nice and cozy.

Let's get right up on Jesus' heals and be crucified with Him (Galatians 2:20)!
