Mark B. Thogmartin - March 31, 2013
The Flesh Is Weak
Simon, whom Jesus renamed Peter, was Jesus' close friend and His right-hand man in ministry. But Peter failed His master when Jesus needed him most by denying 3 times that he even knew Jesus. Peter's sense of failure must have been overwhelming, yet Jesus took the initiative to forgive Peter and to restore him to a place of prominence in His newly formed church. If Jesus did this for Peter, he will do this for us!
