In the second episode, I said that, like Peter, we might, in stressful situations, also deny Christ. Or, we might not want to present that Gospel out of some fear we feel at the moment.
We need to acknowledge, though, that Christ himself advised his followers not to share the Gospel in all instances. In fact, it is seen as using discretion when we understand whether the Holy Spirit is prompting us within a discussion or interaction with non-believers. Not every situation is right for presentation of the Gospel.
In short, Jesus was no "telemarketer" when it came to the Gospel, simply throwing it out there to anyone, then just hoping someone would bite. No. The Gospel, in Christ's view, was to be treated and cherished as sacred, presented only in the right manner and in the correct context.
