"BAGO TUMILAOK ANG MANOK"
(MATEO 26:75)
. 75 Naalala ni Pedro ang sinabi ni Jesus, “Bago tumilaok ang manok, tatlong beses mo akong ikakaila.” Lumabas siya at tumangis nang buong kapaitan.
Malapit na naman ang Holy Week, at ito ang panahong nasubok ang pananampalataya ni Pedro.
Malamig nang gabing iyon, kaya nagpaningas ng apoy ang mga tao sa looban ng bahay. Nakiupo si Pedro sa tabi nila para magpainit habang hinihintay ang resulta ng paglilitis kay Jesus. (Mateo 26:58) Dahil sa liwanag ng apoy, namukhaan si Pedro ng nagbabantay sa pinto. “Hindi ba isa ka rin sa mga alagad ng taong iyon?” ang sabi nito. (Juan 18:17) Hindi lang siya ang nakakilala kay Pedro at nagsabing kasamahan siya ni Jesus.—Mateo 26:69, 71-73; Marcos 14:70.
Kinabahan nang husto si Pedro. Sinisikap na nga niyang huwag mapansin, pero napansin pa rin siya. Kaya ikinaila ni Pedro na kasama siya ni Jesus, na sinasabi: “Hindi ko siya kilala at hindi ko alam ang sinasabi mo.” (Marcos 14:67, 68) Sinabi pa ni Pedro na “sumpain nawa siya kung nagsisinungaling siya,” ibig sabihin, handa siyang maparusahan kung hindi totoo ang sinasabi niya.—Mateo 26:74.
Hindi maitago ni Pedro na taga-Galilea siya dahil sa punto ng pagsasalita niya, kaya halatang nagsisinungaling siya. Isa pa, nandoon sa grupo ang kamag-anak ni Malco, na natagpasan ni Pedro ng tainga. Kaya sinabi nito kay Pedro: “Hindi ba kasama ka niya sa hardin? Nakita kita!” Nang magkaila si Pedro sa ikatlong pagkakataon, tumilaok ang tandang, gaya ng inihula.—Juan 13:38; 18:26, 27.
Sa pagkakataong ito, posibleng nasa balkonahe si Jesus. Lumingon ang Panginoon at nang tingnan niya si Pedro, parang sinaksak si Pedro sa puso. Naalala niya ang sinabi ni Jesus sa silid sa itaas, ilang oras pa lang ang nakalilipas. Isipin natin ang nadama ni Pedro nang mapag-isip-isip niya kung gaano kasamâ ang nagawa niya! Lumabas si Pedro at humagulgol.—Lucas 22:61, 62.... Nagawa ni Pedro ang mga bagay na hindi niya akalain na magagawa niya kay Hesus. Hindi niya inamin ang ang katotohanan na siya ay alagad ni Hesus at kasamahan nito. Imbes na ipagtanggol , tinalikuran ni Pedro ang Panginoong Hesus na nagbibigay ng buhay na walang hanggan.”—Juan 6:68. Juan 14:6
Ipinakikita ng masaklap na karanasan ni Pedro na kahit ang isa na mayroong pananampalataya ay puwedeng manghina kung hindi handa sa mga di-inaasahang pagsubok o tukso.Buong akala ni Pedro ay sapat ang kanyang tapang at lakas upang matayuan ang kanyang pananampalataya... Walang sinumang makapagsasabi sa atin na hindi tayo matatakot o maigugupo ng pagsubok, dapat nating mapagtanto na kung hindi tayo bibigyan ng Dios ng katatagan at patnubay at ng Kanyang tulong ay wala tayong magagawa... Kaya sa Dios tayo manghawakan huwag tayong manghawak sa ating sarili o kanino man, ang Dios lang ang ating tanging kalakasan. Sa panahong ito ng kabagabagan at pagsubok na dinaranas natin , tatagan natin ang ating pananampalataya humingi tayo ng habag at awa sa Dios na patuloy tayong bigyan ng katatagan at pananampalataya sa Kanya, aminin natin na hindi natin makakayang malampasan ang lahat ng ito kung hindi Niya tayo tutulungan, idalangin natin na huwag mawala ang focus natin sa ating Panginoong Hesus at kalingain Niya tayo sa lahat ng sandali,at samahan Niya tayong harapin ang mga pagsubok na ngayon ay ating nararanasan. Mga kapatid, muli ay pagpalain po tayo ng ating Panginoong Hesus at ingatan ngayon at mag pakailanman, Amen.

"BEFORE THE CHICKEN CROWS"
(MATTHEW 26:75)
. 75 Peter remembered Jesus' words, "Before the rooster crows, you will deny me three times." He went out and wept bitterly.
Holy Week was approaching, and Peter's faith was tested.
It was cold that night, so people started a fire in the courtyard. Peter sat down beside them to keep warm while awaiting the outcome of Jesus' trial. (Matthew 26:58) By the light of the fire, Peter saw the doorkeeper face. "Aren't you also one of that man's disciples?" it says. (John 18:17) He was not the only one who knew Peter and claimed to be a companion of Jesus. — Matthew 26:69, 71-73; Mark 14:70.
Peter was very nervous. He was trying not to be noticed, but he was still noticed. So Peter denies that he was with Jesus, saying: “I do not know him and I do not know what you are saying.” (Mark 14:67, 68) Peter even said that “if he is a liar, he is cursed,” meaning that he was ready to be punished if he did not tell the truth. — Matthew 26:74.
Peter could not hide the fact that he was a Galilean because of the point of his speech, so he was obviously lying. Also, in the group was a relative of Malchus, whom Peter had cut off the ear. So he said to Peter: “You were in the garden with him, were you not? I saw you!" When Peter disowns himself a third time, a rooster crows, just as foretold. — John 13:38; 18:26, 27.
This time, Jesus was probably on the balcony. The Lord turned and when he looked at Peter, it was as if Peter had been stabbed in the heart. She remembered what Jesus had said in the upstairs room, just a few hours earlier. Imagine how Peter must have felt when he reflected on the bad things he had done! Peter went out and wept. — Luke 22:61, 62 .... Peter did things he never thought he could do with Jesus. He did not admit the fact that he was a disciple of Jesus and a companion. Instead of defending himself, Peter turned his back on the Lord Jesus, who gives everlasting life. ” - John 6:68. John 14: 6
Peter's ordeal shows that even one who has faith can weaken if he is not prepared for unexpected trials or temptations. Peter thought he had enough courage and strength to stand his faith ... No one can tell us that we will not be afraid or overwhelmed by trial, we must realize that if God does not give us strength and guidance and His help we can do nothing ... So let us hold fast to God let us not hold fast to ourselves or anyone after all, God alone is our only strength. In this time of trouble and trial that we are going through, let us strengthen our faith let us ask God for mercy and compassion to continue to give us strength and faith in Him, let us admit that we cannot overcome all this if we do not have Him. help, let us pray that we do not lose focus on our Lord Jesus and that He will take care of us at all times, and that He will accompany us to face the trials that we are now experiencing. Brethren, once again may our Lord Jesus bless us and keep us now and forever, Amen.
