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.
