Matthew 26:57-75

In our verse by verse study of the Book of Matthew, we have reached the illegal proceedings against Jesus Christ as numerous Jewish laws are broken, Christ is falsely accused and physically abused. We close with the story of Peter's shameful denials of Christ, but are reminded from a look at Isaiah 50 that this was the pre-ordained will of God. We are also humbled by our own life experiences when we have stood in Peter's shoes. Let us thank God for His grace and mercy, to the praise and glory of His Son, Jesus Christ.
