Peter in his early days was quick to speak and frequently found his foot tightly lodged in his mouth
1.
Even Jesus’ closest followers fall short
2. Jesus is not surprised when we fall short
3. Jesus loves us even though we fall short
To follow Jesus does NOT mean we will never fail.
Martin Luther - 95 Thesis (10/31, 1517)
“When our Lord and Master Jesus Christ said “Repent,” he intended that the entire life of believers should be repentance.”
The world sees your sin; show the world your repentance.
As an aside, one of many many evidences we have that the new testament documents are reliable is that Peter is not painted in a very good light all through the gospels.
What separates Jesus’ followers from his foes is not how much they do, but rather how much they repent.
Matthew adds...
Peter’s lack of prayer leads him into a place where he is literally fighting for Jesus, but not fighting Jesus fight.
Peter is in rebellion against God in this moment.
As soon as this scene ends, Matthew tells us that “all the disciples left him and fled.”
In another Psalm...
To follow Jesus is submit your life to him.
To follow Jesus is to stop trusting in your own strength and start trusting in Jesus strength
Jesus desires a relationship with you and he expects it to be one of dependance, which is such good news because I know I can’t make it on my own!
Skipping down a few verses...
Luke adds...
Eye contact...
Mark adds...
Back to John...
Jesus’ death and resurrection make our relationship with him possible.
Repentance is not just turning from sin, it’s turning toward Jesus.
