0770. FEARFUL THINKING.

FEARFUL THINKING.

"And when he thought thereon, he wept" (Mar_14:72). We may learn from this-

1. That it is a great privilege to hear the words of Jesus. Peter had heard something worth thinking about.

2. That circumstances may call to mind the words of Jesus. Cock crowing. Sin remembered. "He thought thereon"-on his sin, on his broken promise (Mar_14:29), the Person denied.

3. That serious thought is sure to have some definite result-

He went out (Mat_26:75). Separation.

He wept. Conscience aroused. Heart melted. Contrition.

4. That such mourners are sure to be comforted. "He is risen… tell Peter" (Mar_16:6-7). Restoration.
