We should not be proud.

 

 

Although Apostle Peter said, “Even if I have to die with You, I will not deny You” (Mt. 26:35),

He denied Jesus three times (vv. 70, 72, 74).

And he remembered the word which Jesus had said,

"Before a rooster crows, you will deny Me three times."

So he went out and wept bitterly (v. 75).

We shouldn’t trust ourselves too much.

We shouldn’t be over confidence.  We shouldn’t be proud.

We need to be crumbled.  Our pride needs to be broken thoroughly.

We even need to hate ourselves thoroughly.

We need to thoroughly realize how weak we are.

In doing so, we will have no choice but to rely on the Lord alone.

In doing so, we will have no choice but to trust Him.
