Imagine how Simon Peter felt when Jesus died. He, James and John were Jesus' closest friends, so they would have been heartbroken to see their friend die such a horrendous death. But even worse for Peter, because he betrayed Jesus. Simon Peter, the one Jesus named The Rock, crumbled like chat on the night Jesus was arrested, denying not once, not twice but three times that he even knew Jesus! Peter was a failed human but Jesus is in the business of restoring humans. This topic's scripture tells a beautiful story of renewal. Not just the life-giving fact of His resurrection, which is for all people but a special mention about Simon Peter. We have no detailed record of it, but sometime after His resurrection, Jesus made a special appearance to Simon. We can only imagine what happened at that joyous reunion. No doubt Peter was ashamed, perhaps unable to look his friend in the eyes. But Jesus probably hugged Peter, told him all was well, and renewed Simon's sagging heart. Jesus does the same for you. If you are in need of renewal, go to Jesus and tell Him what's on your mind, what's tearing at your heart. Read His word for instructions and guidance. Consult His leaders (pastors, counselors) for wise counsel. Let the Holy Spirit guide you in prayer. Receive ultimate renewal!! |
