Scripture Union Daily Guide 31st March 2026 – Outline
Peter followed Jesus in the time of His greatest need, but at a distance (Luke 22:54). Yesterday, we read how he slept while Jesus travailed in prayer. Now, he is following at a distance. He had no courage to go close and identify with His Master. Can you see a connection between Peter’s failure to pray in the garden and what is happening now? When we fail to pray we lose the opportunity to build up our spiritual strength to overcome temptations and we predispose ourselves to avoidable embarrassments.
Peter did not only follow at a distance physically; it seems that his heart was also disconnected from Jesus. He earlier vowed never to leave Jesus (see Luke 22:33-34), but now fear made him deny his Master three consecutive times (Luke 22:56-60). The farther our hearts are to the Lord, the easier it is for us to deny him. To maintain our spiritual vitality, our spiritual connections with the Lord and brethren should be our primary preoccupation (John 15:4; Hebrews 10:25). What can we learn from Peter in Luke 22:62?
