Remarkable Part 58: The Denial, The Sifting, & The Grace (Mark 14:66-72)
Manage episode 297446654 series 2286268
Can there be any hope now for Peter? The man who promised to stay faithful to Jesus even if it meant prison time or death, has now refused to acknowledge that he even knows Jesus. Three times he has denied it!
Jesus, rather than making Peter earn his love and or work of lifetime to try to earn his salvation, offers grace. He gives us hope for the future by telling Peter that when he has turned back to Jesus again, he will have an important role: "strengthen your brothers." In the same way, when we feel like we have fallen to far, failed one too many times, and could never deserve a place in God's family or purpose, He has a merciful and miraculous way of redeeming even the worst of our sinfulness. Like Peter, our most shameful mistakes can become a part of God's salvation story. In fact, our whole story is a testimony of Jesus' hand in our lives. Can there be any hope for Peter? Yes! Can there be any hope for us? Yes!
