Four Angles on Easter

 (ID: 1735)

What would it have been like to witness the death and resurrection of Jesus two thousand years ago? Alistair Begg explores this question from four biblical vantage points: in the courtyard with Peter, at the foot of the cross, at Jesus’ burial site, and outside His tomb. Through considering the Easter story from these angles, we are forced to measure the claims of Jesus and our personal stories of faith by His victory over death on the cross.


Peter Denies Jesus

69qNow Peter was sitting outside rin the courtyard. And a servant girl came up to him and said, “You also were with Jesus the Galilean.” 70But he denied it before them all, saying, “I do not know what you mean.” 71And when he went out to the entrance, another servant girl saw him, and she said to the bystanders, “This man was with Jesus sof Nazareth.” 72And again he denied it with an oath: “I do not know the man.” 73After a little while the bystanders came up and said to Peter, “Certainly you too are one of them, for tyour accent betrays you.” 74Then he began to invoke a curse on himself and to swear, “I do not know the man.” And immediately the rooster crowed. 75And Peter remembered the saying of Jesus, u“Before the rooster crows, you will vdeny me three times.” And he went out and wept bitterly.
