And immediately a rooster crowed.

John 18:27, 40 NKJV

Peter then denied again; and immediately a rooster crowed. Then they all cried again, saying, “Not this Man, but Barabbas!” Now Barabbas was a robber.

Shalom and blessed Sunday! This is the day that the Lord has made, let us rejoice and be glad in it! The Holy Spirit taught me something new and has a deep meaning to the Word that i read today. Father bless Your Word. Let it bring us into a realization of the importance of having Jesus in our lives. In Jesus name, amen!

In order to move to the NEXT LEVEL - are we living a life thats denying Jesus? Which means, when we are surrounded with our friends, are we portraying Jesus through our lives, or we deny Jesus and pretend as though we do not know Him? NEXT LEVEL in our character and attitude. When Peter followed Jesus from far after He was captured, a servant girl recognizes Peter as a follower of Jesus, but Peter he was afraid that they may take his life as well and yeah he then denied of knowing Jesus. Sometimes when we are surrounded with our friends, and we know the things they do are wrong, yet we are afraid to stand up and say "hey it is wrong" instead we join and do it together. We have denied Jesus through our characters and attitudes.

Not only we deny Jesus through our characters and attitudes - we gave life to the devil and we have murdered the Life giver. Not this Man, but Barabbas! Now Barabbas was a robber. We allowed the devil to be freed and we sentenced life to death.

We must acknowledge Jesus in every ways of our lives. No matter what people has to say about you, the QUESTION is are you willing to STAND UP, STAND OUT AND SHINE FOR JESUS? Are we willing to honour Jesus through our attitudes and characters? Dare to be witnesses of Jesus. Dare to be followers of Jesus! Think different, be different. You dont have to be same like other people. You are created to honour God through our lives.
