25 Now Simon Peter stood and warmed himself. Therefore they said to him, “You are not also one of His disciples, are you?”
He denied it and said, “I am not!”
26 One of the servants of the high priest, a relative of him whose ear Peter cut off, said, “Did I not see you in the garden with Him?”
27 Peter then denied again; and immediately a rooster crowed.
15 So when they had eaten breakfast, Jesus said to Simon Peter, “Simon, son of Jonah, do you love Me more than these?”
He said to Him, “Yes, Lord; You know that I love You.”
He said to him, “Feed My lambs.”
16 He said to him again a second time, “Simon, son of Jonah, do you love Me?”
He said to Him, “Yes, Lord; You know that I love You.”
He said to him, “Tend My sheep.”
17 He said to him the third time, “Simon, son of Jonah, do you love Me?” Peter was grieved because He said to him the third time, “Do you love Me?”
And he said to Him, “Lord, You know all things; You know that I love You.”
2 And suddenly there came a sound from heaven, as of a rushing mighty wind, and it filled the whole house where they were sitting.
3 Then there appeared to them divided tongues, as of fire, and one sat upon each of them.
4 And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance.
i could never imagine how much Jesus went through for us. but even now, i can't ever fathom the power of His love, and His words. Peter sinned three times. and He redeemed Peter three times. and Peter not only reconciled his love. but went out to do the many things for God.
and if Jesus Christ, could do it for Peter, why can't he do it for me? and i know how marvelous it is, that as quickly as i delve back into sin, i am redeemed. that He loved me so much.
that he.
saved me.
redeemed me.
renewed me.
and sent me.
and how i wish i could be the one telling God "Lord you know all things; You know i love You"
and though i have many prayers to say. many things to ask for. many things to hope for. i pray for this one more thing.
send me.
send me.
convicted by Your spirit, led by Your word
