He Began to Curse and Swear
I made the point last week that these events happened at the same time: while Jesus was undergoing his trial, Peter was denying that he knew Jesus. Jesus was being falsely accused, with false witnesses standing up and lying about Jesus, while Peter stood by and lied about knowing Jesus. Peter could have been a truthful witness to Christ at the court case, instead he stood just outside, too scared to acknowledge that he even knew Jesus. Peter didn’t witness for Peter, he denied him. Today we will focus in on Peter’s story and his three-fold denial. We’ll consider his confidence, fear, sadness, and joy.

The Genealogy of Jesus Christ
This year for our Christmas sermon I want us to reflect on the genealogy of Jesus Christ. When we look at the Bible, we see lots of genealogies throughout. And that is fitting. Right from the fall of mankind God had made a promise to Adam and Eve. God promised that the seed of the woman would one day crush the seed of the serpent. That meant humanity had to be on the lookout for the promised child. Family trees were then recorded. Genealogies passed down. But for generation after generation, the promised seed still hadn’t come. And then we find God renewing that promise along the way through other men as well. And so the records kept building until one day they found their fulfillment in Jesus.
