THY SPEECH BETRAYS THEE
Monday, September 30, 2013
Matthew 26:69-75 And Peter sat outside in the court. And
a girl came to him, saying, You also were with Jesus of Galilee. 70 But he
denied all before them, saying, I do not know what you say. 71 And when he had
gone out into the porch, another saw him and said to those there, This one was
also with Jesus of Nazareth. 72 And again he denied with an oath, I do not know
the man. 73 And after a little while those who stood by came and said to Peter,
Surely you also are one of them, for your speech betrays you. 74 Then he began
to curse and to swear, I do not know the man. And immediately the cock crowed.
75 And Peter remembered the word of Jesus, Who said to him, Before the cock
crows, you shall deny Me three times. And he went out and wept bitterly.
Of late, a
recurring thought mine: I say “I am a Christian.” . . . but how does my
everyday speech identify me in the ears of others? EBB4
