openly denies knowledge of Jesus even
as an acquaintance!

Now the nar7•ative of Peter's trans-
gressions, and the disclosure of his
true nature by these transgressions,
is given in Scripture not for Peter's
sake, but for yours and mine. There
fore it behoves us—unless, of course,
we vainly take to ourselves the na-
ture of man as exemplified in Peter
—it behoves us to give most earnest
heed to the words of the wen -chosen
text which is set over this Scripture,
"Let him that thinketh he standeth
take heed lest he fail" (I Cor, 10:12.)
II,
But now, at the very lowest point
in Peter's downward fall, there is
another wholly different word to be'
reckoned with. Yet it is not a wholly
different word. It is a word which
we should be prepared to hear if we
have heard hitherto of the aetion. of
the Father in Heaven in bestowing
upon Peter an insight which he did
not in himself possess; or of the
action of the Father in declaring
Jesus as His beloved Son and the
only word to be heard, though Peter
groups Him with Moses and Elias.
We should be prepared to hear that
this same Father in Heaven grants
unto the Son power to keep unto the
end those whom He has called, and
this power the Father does indeed
bestow upon the Son, and it is the.
consolation of every repentant "Pet-
er".
After the denial, ,when "the Lord
turned and Looked upon Peter" (v 01)
then Peter remembered the Word of
the Lord." Then "he went out and
wept bitterly!" In the bitter weepitlg'
of the repentant Petet' there is hope!
For into his broken spirit comes the
memory of the Lord's words — not
only words of warning, but also words
of greet comfort, "I have prayed for
thee, that thy faith fail -]tot!" (v 32):
Thanks be to rod that our consols=.

us a Teter' to the very core—but

perish, „neither shall any pluck them
out of my hand. My Father which
gave them me is greater than all; and
none is 'able to pluck them out of my
Father's hand." (John 10:27-29).
Again we say, not for Peter's sake,
but for yours and mine—and for the
Church everywhere in this our day—
does Scripture -speak, "Satan hath
desired to have you, that he may sift
you as wheat.,But I have prayed for
