Today’s Reading: Matthew 26:57–58
(EFKS Tusi Faitau Aso)

“Peter followed Him at a distance.”
(Matthew 26:58)

This week’s EFKS theme:
The Gospel of Matthew: From Death to Resurrection

A Thought for Today

Distance often begins quietly.

What This Means for Us Today

Jesus is taken before Caiaphas and the Sanhedrin. The religious leaders gather in judgment.

Peter follows — but at a distance.

In moments of pressure, it can feel safer to stay back rather than stand close.

Distance may protect comfort, but it weakens connection.

Carry This With You

Stay near to Christ, even when it feels uncomfortable.

A Simple Prayer

Lord, keep me from drifting away.
Give me courage to remain close.
Amen.

Today’s Invitation

Notice where you may be keeping distance from God.
