When Matthew tells his story of the betrayal of Jesus it is Peter that he focuses on. Peter, not Judas. Oh, Judas gets his mention, but Peter's betrayal seem to have loomed larger in Matthew's reckoning. Perhaps because Peter's betrayal was so much closer to Matthew's own. At the time Jesus was arrested, they all failed him. Thank God for his grace and his love for us! Now, will we learn from what happened, or will we treat it like a nice story and assume that what Jesus said and did in this instance couldn't possibly mean we can or should do the same?Comments and questions are welcome, either by posting them here or by emailing [email protected] to help us help the people of Nevada County, California are always appreciated!
