Denial by Firelight

After Jesus is arrested, Peter follows Jesus to Pilate’s court, and joins a group of Pilate’s guards and servants warming themselves by the fire. Yet despite having heard first-hand Jesus’ command to never hide his lamp under a bushel, Peter denies knowing Jesus not once but three times. This is a great opportunity to explore how our hearts grow cold from loyalty to Christ, and to ask ourselves what campfire company we keep.
