To Avoid Sin, Keep Close to God's Word
Mark 14:68-72
But he denied, saying, I know not, neither understand I what you say. And he went out into the porch; and the cock crew.…


He that would avoid occasion of sin, must hold him. self to God's commandment, and within the limits of his own calling. If Peter had done this, he had not fallen so foully. Christ having expressed His will and pleasure, he should not have so much as deliberated upon it, much less resolved against it. But he forgets the word and commandment of Christ, and so falls into sin.

(Dr. Thomas Taylor.)
