Freedom & Decisions: A Bible Devotional, And A FREE GIVEAWAY!!

Freedom. What's the Definition of Freedom? What are a couple words that pop in your mind when you hear the word freedom. When I think of freedom, I think of choices or decisions. Freedom leads to choices. Also, freedom can lead to actions. And choices, and actions have one thing in common, they can result in consepuences, or rewards.

Now, turn to Matthew 26:1-35 and read it. It's about the passover, and Jesus says, "Once the rooster crows, you would have denied me 3 times." What Peter did was a very bad choice. Now, close your eyes. Imagine you're Peter. Jesus just told you, you would deny him. And you deny saying you'd never do that. What thoughts go through your mind when you think about that moment? Here's what I'm thinking.

• Peter just denied him then, although that doesn't count for those three times, it's still denying the Lord.
• Why didn't Peter just believe Jesus? Because, he's the Lord!
• Did Peter even care what Jesus said to him, because he knew it wasn't true.
• Did Peter remember, Jesus knows everything!

Those questions, can all be answered easily, but, it'd take time.

Real Life Matthew 26:1-35-

Bethany, your sister, just got home, and calls her friend. You just keep doing your homework. Then tommorow, she comes home, with a big, fat 0 on her homework pages. Your parents ask, "What happened Bethany? Last night at dinner, you said you finished your homework! But you obviously didn't!" then, Bethany replies "The Dumb Teacher mistook my homework for a stupid boy in my class named Dylan." Then your parents point to the delicately written name on the page. Bethany Victoria #17.

Give Bethany some advice, in your notebook!
