Mark A. Copeland 5. When we are ashamed of Christ, it is natural for to fall into the next step of backsliding... D. WORLDLINESS - Mk 14:54 1. We now find Peter sitting with the servants of the High Priest and warming himself by the fire 2. Ashamed to be seen with Christ, it becomes easy to mingle with those of the world and enjoy their comforts 3. But one cannot be “comforted by the fire” of the world, and not be “burned”! a. Close contact with that which can harm has its effects! - cf. Pr 6:27-29 b. So it is we cannot “flirt with the world” and walk away untouched! - 1 Co 15:33 4. By the time we becomes “friends with the world”, it is only a short time before we take the next and final step of backsliding... E. DENIAL - Mk 14:66-71 1. Away from Christ, at comfort with those in the world, Peter finds himself denying His Lord and Savior! 2. In so doing, he has put himself in grave danger - cf. Mt 10:32-33 3. Though we may never actually deny Jesus in “words”, we can easily backslide to the point of denying Him in “action”... a. We are called to worship Him . . . but make excuses why we cannot b. We are called to serve Him . . . but render little or no service c. We are called to stand by His side and suffer for His name...but stand afar off in the safety of the world’s comfort [When we deny the Lord, our backsliding is complete; unless we repent, the only thing left is to one day face the Lord, where we will fully realize the error of our ways! For Peter, he fully realized his sin when the Lord turned and looked at him there in the courtyard (cf. Lk 22:60-62). Imagine the feeling in Peter’s heart as those eyes of His Savior pierced his soul! Like Judas, Peter wept bitterly over his sin. Unlike Judas, Peter had “godly sorrow” that results in true repentance (cf. 2 Co 7:10-11). And years later, we find Peter writing the sort of things that would prevent us from making the same mistake he did...] II. ADVICE FROM ONE WHO LEARNED THE HARD WAY A. TO GUARD AGAINST “PRIDE”... 1. Peter enjoins “humility” - 1 Pe 5:5-6 2. Indeed, “God resists the proud, but gives grace to the humble” B. TO WARD AGAINST “LAZINESS”... 1. Peter commands “diligence” - 1 Pe 5:8-9 2. Note especially his words in his second epistle - 2 Pe 1:5,10; 3:14 C. INSTEAD OF “COWARDICE”... 1. Peter charges us to “glorify God” - 1 Pe 4:16 2. Think not of what it means to you, but what it means to God! D. INSTEAD OF “WORLDLINESS”... 1. Peter tells us to “abstain” - 1 Pe 2:11-12 2. Remember that we are “sojourners and pilgrims”, destined for a better place than the things Topical Sermons 8
of this world have to offer! Mark A. Copeland E. INSTEAD OF “DENIAL”... 1. Peter exhorts us to ever be ready to “give a defense” - 1 Pe 3:15 2. By careful preparation, we will “defend” Christ, and not “deny” Christ! CONCLUSION 1. From one who learned by the hard road of experience, let’s heed his advice lest we one day backslide ourselves, and in so doing deny the Lord! - cf. 2 Pe 3:17-18 2. Remember too that when Peter saw the eyes of his Lord, he realized the error of his way... a. Fortunately for him, there was still time to repent b. But for us, when we see Jesus “face to face”, the time to repent will be gone...it will be the time for judgment! 3. If we realize that we are guilty of backsliding... a. Repent now, do not wait until you stand before Jesus b. Do it now, so that your “face to face” encounter with Jesus will be terrific, not terrifying! Topical Sermons 9
