2 Timothy 2:11-12 If we have died with Him we shall also live with Him; if we persevere we shall also reign with Him. But if we deny Him He will deny us. Deny your faith and we will spare your life, his persecutors said. To which Lorenzo Ruiz answered, I will never do it. I am a Catholic and happy to die for God. If I have a thousand lives to offer, I will offer them to God. In this generation, denial can be in many forms. Some do it through fabricated lies to ruin one’s reputation, as retaliation or manifestation of insecurity or simply a habitual act. In politics, double-crossing on exact commission partition between a high rank official and his political ally is also another form of denial. At home, conflicts unsettled can be another type. By these acts, we deny Jesus because these are abhorrent in His sight. As a Christian or non-Christian, did you experience to be cheated by people around you in spite of friendship, benevolence, and advantages you have articulated towards that person? How long did you manage not to nurse any grudge, anger and bitterness against him/her?
