Devotional: Galatians 2:11-14

Today’s passage: Galatians 2:11-14

Helpful thoughts:

  • This disagreements over the Gospel was so important that it was worth Paul and Peter getting into a public confrontation.
  • When Peter “separated himself” from the Gentiles, he chose sides.  The language here takes his actions beyond neutrality.  Peter had joined the Judaizers in that moment out of fear.
    • Peter’s fearful decision carried great consequences and this event became a moment of truth for the ministry of the Gospel in Antioch and beyond.
    • Paul called Peter out in a public way because Peter’s abandonment was also public.
  • Peter repented!  (1 Peter 1:13-21)

Questions to consider:

  1. Why is it so important to get the Gospel right?
  2. In that moment, who was loving God and people more?
  3. Why is fearing man a hypocrisy for the Christian?  What does fearing man/culture result in?
