In the entire land of Uz, there was only 1 Job. Hmm!
Three times that fateful night Peter tried to deny he was a part of Jesus’ tribe, even calling down curses, all to no avail. There was something about him that made him stand out like a sore thumb amongst all the others that were gathered. He was easily identifiable as belonging to Jesus. What about us. In a mixed crowd does our identity stand out? Even when those around us may not know our name does our ‘Jesus’ game show up? Not the proselytizing or condemning speeches of others mis-behaviors, but the grace, gentleness, and edifying words that could help make it a ‘divine moment’ they will later reflect upon. It’s true we don’t “cast our pearls among the swine” but it’s also equally true when we’re among them they know who we are.
Until tomorrow……
