    It’s Time To Silence The Rooster - Video
    Peter's failure is one of the most sobering stories in the new testament. Despite his many strengths, he had weaknesses that lurked just below the surface. His impetuousness lent itself to trouble. Most often, his quick mouth got him into trouble. In this particular story, Peter is warming himself by the fire. Someone recognizes him as a follower of Jesus and calls him out. He denies it and then does so two more times, thus fulfilling the prophecy of Jesus not even 24 hours earlier. Immediately the rooster crowd to signal the fulfillment of Jesus’s words. For most of us, the sound of a rooster crowing would haunt us, not only in the moment but from then on. But if we look at Peter’s life from that moment on, it is amazing to note that He moved on from that colossal failure to be one of the most influential preachers of the first-century church. We do not read that Peter was haunted by his failure. Part of this is most certainly due to Jesus’ specific words to tell the disciples AND Peter to meet Him in Galalale. Later, Jesus asks Peter three times, “Do you love me? Each time, Peter responds that he does. Somehow in that exchange, the echoing sound of that rooster crowing was silenced. The message here is that if our heart has failed us, God’s love is greater than that failure. Our failures in the past do not have to determine our future. God wants to silence the rooster in our own lives.
