Jesus sums up Peter in that he was dominated by fear or himself and of others, from sinking on the water to the rooster crowing to being pulled up by Paul.
We see fear, we see zeal and weakness and we see hypocrisy a bit like us all who claim to be something that when challenged may fail to our own thorn that slows us down and that God will not remove?
It is hard to be a believer Jesus, as it was with Peter a great preacher after Pentecost that lead many to faith, the writer of two fantastic letters in the New Testament, a man that Jesus said Ekklesia would be built on and that does not mean Rome as some like to think.
Matthew 8:28, 16:18, Mark 14:72, John 21:15, Acts 2:38-40, Galatians 2:12, 1 Peter, 2 Peter.
Hi. We are both born-again believers for the last thirty years and we have always had the desire to share our faith with everyone, other believers to be encouraged because it is hard to follow God! To those seeking Him, that they will find that He is able to forgive us our pasts and that He loves us to bring us back into fellowship with Him.
There are many who do not want to know or are blinded by legalism, believing this is enough? But the truth of the Bible is that there is only one way and this has to be made through God's One and only Son Isa,/Isus,/Jesus,/Yeshua!
Jesus was the final sacrifice for our failures, he was the final atonement and our repentance and faith in Him, will bring us back into relationship with God, Elohim, Al-Liylah (Allah).
