Had Peter favoured the revealed will of God, he had not been there with no business but to sit down and warm himself. But by the secret will and providence of God, Peter must be here, not only to accomplish the word of Christ, but for another special purpose. For the good of the Church, he is made an eyewitness of all Christs sufferings in the house of the High Priest. Never did any evil befall any of Gods servants, but by Gods overruling power was turned to some good to themselves and others.<\/p>\n 2. <\/strong>Peter was cold, and it was not unlawful to warm himself; but better he had been cold and comfortless alone in the darkness of the night, than to have sat within warming himself in such company.<\/p>\n Peter was now colder by the warm fire, than he was without in the cold air; his heart grew cold, and his faith and zeal.<\/p>\n 1. <\/strong>Let us resolve that that is a cold and comfortless place (though the fire be never so great) where Christ is bound, where Christ cannot be professed, where Christ is scorned, and the disciples of Christ are set upon as Peter was here.<\/p>\n 2. <\/strong>Let us labour, how cold soever the weather be without, to keep the heart warm in grace; it had been better for Peter to have sat cold without and warm within, than for outward warmth to freeze and starve inwardly. The season is generally cold-heat of zeal counted madness, godliness disguised, etc.; let us labour in this general coldness to keep our heat.<\/p>\n 3. <\/strong>When thou sittest at a warm fire, beware of temptation. Peter, when he followed Christ, suffering cold and want, was strong and zealous; but now he comes to the warm fire, he is quite overthrown. The warm fire of prosperity and outward peace has overthrown many, who in their wants and trouble stood fast in grace. If thou hast not prosperity and wealth, console thyself with the thought that thou art free from the snare which has caused others to fall. And if thou art in affliction, be not too much cast down; for in this estate thou art more secure than in its opposite. Prosperity is not always a sign of Gods favour, but only when it provokes to humility and duty. Too much rankness hurts the corn, and too much fruit breaks the trees. (Dr. Thomas Taylor.<\/em>)<\/p>\n<\/p>\n Weak tempters can foil stout men<\/strong><\/p>\n Peters <\/em>tempter is a woman, a silly maid, a very weak party.<\/p>\n 1. <\/strong>To show him his frailty. Peter thought no man could cast him down, when lo! a woman does.<\/p>\n 2. <\/strong>To humble his pride. How easily God overthrows the pride of man! He need not come in His own person He need not bring a champion or man of war against him; a mere woman shall be tempter too strong for as presumptuous a professor as Peter. The Lord, who resists all sinners, is said often to resist the proud, i.e., <\/em>after a special and severe manner, because they seek to draw Gods glory upon themselves. Pharaoh. Jezebel. Herod. Historians write of a city in France that was depopulated and wasted, and the inhabitants driven away, by frogs. It is reported also, that a town in Thessalonica was rooted up and overthrown by moles. And we read of Pope Adrian being choked with a fly. Thus the Lord plays, as it were, with His enemies, scorning to come Himself into the field against them, but sending the meanest of His creatures to east them down. Let this humble us under the mighty hand of God; presume of nothing in ourselves, be proud of nothing, lest we know by woeful experience that a thing of nothing is strong enough to overthrow us. If our pride shall resist God, Gods weakness shall resist us, and we shall know to our cost that the weakness of God is stronger than man. Never was pride of heart unrevenged with falls, sin, and shame. (Dr. Thomas Taylor.<\/em>)<\/p>\n 67.

The sense<\/I> of this is given in John’s report of it(Joh 18:17<\/span>), “Art notthou also one of this man’s disciples?” that is, thou as well as”that other disciple,” whom she knew to be one, but did notchallenge, perceiving that he was a privileged person. In Luke (Lu22:56<\/span>) it is given as a remark made by the maid to one of theby-standers”this man was also with Him.” If so expressedin Peter’s hearingdrawing upon him the eyes of every one thatheard it (as we know it did, Mt26:70<\/span>), and compelling him to answer to itthat would explainthe different forms of the report naturally enough.
