How Well Do You Know Yourself?

In a spiritual context, the question posed in my title can be a little discomforting. How close are we to God? What are our limits? What am I capable of doing that no one else is, good and bad? These are very thought-provoking questions about our soul and our eternal destiny. In reading the last few chapters of Mark I observe Peter and the rest of the apostle's reaction to Jesus' words in Mark 14:29-31. Peter promises he would not deny the Christ, but his actions proved otherwise (see Mark 14:66-72). Likewise compare Jesus' most trusted disciples reactions when Jesus said that they would betray him in Mark 14:18-21,27-31 to when they actually did betray him (Mark 14:50). How could someone even as strong as Peter deny the Lord? Do I deny the Lord? Though, I attend a religious university, read the Holy Bible, and pray often, can I sometimes be guilty of denying Jesus Christ? Or rather, the question could be could I be capable of turning against Jesus Christ? My message to the readers is to ask yourselves these same questions. Evaluate your answers carefully.
