Fireside Chats

by PamFord Davis  
1/14/2025 / Devotionals

The Apostle Peter had just witnessed Jesus’ arrest in the Garden of Gethsemane. He was in no mood for a fireside chat.

“And Peter had followed Him at a distance, right into the courtyard of the high priest; and he was sitting with the officers and warming himself at the fire (Mark 14:54 NASB).”

A chill went down his spine when he heard bystander’s accusations.

“And while Peter was below in the courtyard, one of the slave women of the high priest came, and seeing Peter warming himself, she looked at him and said, ‘You were with Jesus the Nazarene as well.’ But he denied it, saying, ‘I neither know nor understand what you are talking about.’ And he went out onto the porch. The slave woman saw him, and began once more to say to the bystanders, ‘This man is one of them (Mark 14:66-69 NASB).”

Guilt of his denial drove Peter to tears.

“But he began to curse himself and to swear, I do not know this man of whom you speak!’ And immediately a rooster crowed a second time. And Peter remembered how Jesus had made the remark to him, ‘Before a rooster crows twice, you will deny Me three times. And he hurried on and began to weep (Mark 14:71-72 NASB).”

Peter later welcomed a meal and fireside chat with Jesus.

“So when they got out on the land, they saw a charcoal fire already made and fish placed on it, and bread.  Jesus said to them, ‘Bring some of the fish which you have now caught (John 21:9-10 NASB).”
