Thought for Today – Peter’s Blunders and Ours Too – Part 7
Let’s look at John 20:1-10. It is the resurrection chapter, recounting the greatest miracle that has ever occurred. It affects you and me, as well as all of mankind. Hallelujah!
“Early on the first day of the week, while it was still dark, Mary Magdalene went to the tomb and saw that the stone had been removed from the entrance. So she came running to Simon Peter and the other disciple, the one Jesus loved, and said, ‘They have taken the Lord out of the tomb, and we don’t know where they have put him!’ So, Peter and the other disciple started for the tomb. Both were running, but the other disciple outran Peter and reached the tomb first. He bent over and looked in at the strips of linen lying there but did not go in. Then, Simon Peter came along behind him and went straight into the tomb. He saw the strips of linen lying there, as well as the cloth that had been wrapped around Jesus’ head. The cloth was still lying in its place, separate from the linen. Finally, the other disciple, who had reached the tomb first, also went inside. He saw and believed. (They still did not understand from Scripture that Jesus had to rise from the dead.) Then the disciples went back to where they were staying.”
Aside from the miracle of the empty tomb, this passage is also funny. Peter was being Peter. Again, he was like us with our difficulties with the Lord. Sometimes, I wonder if Peter was bipolar. After Mary Magdalene reported to Peter and John that Jesus wasn't in the tomb, fearing that His body had been taken away, both disciples ran to see for themselves to see. John had outrun Peter and reached the tomb first. John bent over and looked, probably for fear of defilement looking at the strips of linen, but he didn't go in. Peter, in being Peter, like a bull in a china shop, rushed in and saw the grave clothes and the separate burial cloth. Peter and John were afraid that Jesus’ body had been taken away because they didn't understand from scripture that Jesus had to rise from the dead. To be continued in part 8

CHAPTER 3
PRAISE FOR GOD'S KINGDOM
JOHN 3:1-15 - PRAISE FOR THE NEW LIFE IN YOU
I give praise for my new Life in You, Jesus, for opening my eyes to spiritual matters. Behold how much more to life there is than flesh and blood and the pleasures of this world! This earthly life lasts approximately 70 years; its pleasures hide all the gloom and sorrows that constantly have to be guarded so as not to be brought to the surface. But the life in You, Christ, transcends all the false, paradoxical niceties of this world and restores me back to fellowship with You to delight in giving glory, honor, and praise to Your Name! Yes, I am a new creature in You; The old things passed away; behold, all things have become new. Let me always be in awe and wonder at

Thought for Today – Peter’s Blunders and Ours Too – Part 6
Let's look again in Mark14:66-72. “While Peter was below in the courtyard, one of the servant girls of the high priest came by. When she saw Peter warming himself, she looked closely at him. “You also were with that Nazarene, Jesus,” she said. But he denied it. “I don’t know or understand what you’re talking about,” he said, and went out into the entryway. When the servant girl saw him there, she said again to those standing around, “This fellow is one of them.” Again, he denied it. After a little while, those standing near said to Peter, “Surely you are one of them, for you are a Galilean.” He began to call down curses, and he swore to them, “I don’t know this man you’re talking about.” Immediately the rooster crowed the second time. Then Peter remembered the word Jesus had spoken to him: “Before the rooster crows twice you will disown me three times.” And he broke down and wept.”
Peter was broken, as many times in my life I have experienced brokenness. One of these times occurred when I had my first apartment after two years. Previously, I lived in dirty, smelly, and noisy nursing homes for eight long years. Therefore, I was grateful, grateful than most people to get my first place of my own, even in the slums and dedicated it to the Lord. Over the course of two years in this apartment, I had to deal with many problems, including hiring, firing caregivers, and managing them. One was using drugs and I had to straighten him out because he almost killed me while he was high on heroine. This put continuing living in my apartment in jeopardy because I needed somebody to take care of my needs. I was blind to it, but all this stuff affected my relationship with God. In finally playing a praise tape, I saw that I lost the love that I had for Him.
The song that had ministered to me was, “As the deer pants for water, so my soul pants for thee.” One of the lines in the bridge broke me to tears. It was, “You are my friend, and you are my brother, even though you are a King.” Through my sobbing I had to admit that although Jesus was still my God and King, and still my brother, I had lost that very special intimate friendship I had once with Him. I wanted it back! To be continued in part 7

Thought for Today – Peter’s Blunders and Ours Too – Part 4
Let’s see the results of Peter’s sermon, starting with Acts 2:37 - “When the people heard this, they were cut to the heart and said to Peter and the other apostles, ‘Brothers, what shall we do?’ Peter replied, ‘Repent and be baptized, every one of you, in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins. And you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. The promise is for you and your children and for all who are far off—for all whom the Lord our God will call.’ With many other words he warned them; and he pleaded with them, ‘Save yourselves from this corrupt generation.’ Those who accepted his message were baptized, and about three thousand were added to their number that day.”

Thought for Today – Peter’s Blunders and Ours Too – Part 3
Let’s read Peter's first sermon, found in Acts 2:14 after the outpouring of the Holy Spirit with the people thinking that Peter and the rest of the disciples were drunk.
“In the last days, God says, I will pour out my Spirit on all people. Your sons and daughters will prophesy, your young men will see visions, your old men will dream dreams. Even on my servants, both men and women, I will pour out my Spirit in those days, and they will prophesy. I will show wonders in the heavens above and signs on the earth below, blood and fire and billows of smoke. The sun will be turned to darkness and the moon to blood before the coming of the great and glorious day of the Lord. And everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.’ “Fellow Israelites, listen to this: Jesus of Nazareth was a man accredited by God to you by miracles, wonders and signs, which God did among you through him, as you yourselves know. This man was handed over to you by God’s deliberate plan and foreknowledge; and you, with the help of wicked men, put him to death by nailing him to the cross. But God raised him from the dead, freeing him from the agony of death, because it was impossible for death to keep its hold on him.”
Peter then continues to speak about David, the patriarch. David died and was buried, but it was only Christ who rose again. It was Christ’s death, burial and resurrection that was prophesied. Peter continues to say, quoting David, “The Lord said to my Lord, ‘Sit at my right hand until I make your enemies a footstool for your feet.’ Therefore let all Israel be assured of this: God has made this Jesus, whom you crucified, both Lord and Messiah.”
Let’s stop here for a minute, at the end of Peter's first sermon. Although the reading of this scripture was kind of long, the sermon was short, mostly quoting Old Testament scripture. It wasn't a 6-point sermon, but the Holy Spirit gave him what the people needed to hear from the scriptures. They were cut to the heart as most translations say, as we will see in verse 37.
I love when God cuts my heart about an issue of my life. It is a conviction from the Holy Spirit. Godly sorrow brings repentance that leads to salvation and leaves no regret. To be continued in part 4

JOHN 2:23-25 - HELP ME TO KNOW YOU WITHOUT SEEKING MIRACULOUS SIGNS
(PERSONAL TESTIMONY)
O Lord and my God, may I always accept You for who and what You are without relying on signs and wonders. The Joy, the Peace, and the Faith that You are with me is all that I need. To be in Your Presence is far better than to have my body healed or to leap out of my wheelchair in which I have been confined for 36 years! I ponder how tired you must get of men constantly seeking signs as if miracles alone could prove your Existence and Might. I become annoyed when people refuse to believe that I can do certain things like typing and painting in spite of my disabilities. I have to actually show them. So may I never challenge Your Sovereignty or Power; just to glory in Your Name should be more than sufficient. But realizing my doubting nature, You love me so much that You perform miracles every day of my life to assure me that You are there. Therefore, I give praise to You for understanding my human nature and loving me and accepting me with an unconditional love.

Thought for Today – Peter’s Blunders and Ours Too – Part 2
If 40 years ago, someone would have told my former pastor that he would be the pastor of a church, he would have thought that the person was absolutely off his rocker. His grandmother prophesied when he was young and ornery, that he would be a pastor. He isn't young anymore, but he is still ornery. Thank God that his orneriness is now spirit lead.
I remember about 25 years ago, when I had no speaking device but communicated on a low-tech word board, a brother from church said that I would be a great orator for God. Other times, I felt that he was saying it just to pacify me, but he kept saying it repeatedly. Sometimes, I thought he was nuts because of my speech disability. However, as you can see, the prophecy has been fulfilled. Praise the Lord! To be continued in part 3

Thought for Today – Peter’s Blunders and Ours Too – Part 1
I would like to talk about Peter, knowing that we all can relate to him with his many blunders and mistakes. I can certainly relate to him. Yet, he was real and honest that the Lord accepts. There was nothing phony about him, as we will see.
First, let us see what Jesus prophesied about Peter, and look at him after Jesus’ resurrection. Then, we will go back to Peter's blunders. I like going backwards to see how far people have come. It is encouraging to all of us who didn't have it all together, and quite frankly, still don't have it all together until we reach Heaven.
Matthew 16:13-20 says, “When Jesus came to the region of Caesarea Philippi, he asked his disciples, ‘Who do people say the Son of Man is?’ They replied, ‘Some say John the Baptist; others say Elijah; and still others, Jeremiah or one of the prophets.’ ‘But what about you?’ he asked. ‘Who do you say I am?’ Simon Peter answered, ‘You are the Messiah, the Son of the living God.’ Jesus replied, ‘Blessed are you, Simon son of Jonah, for this was not revealed to you by flesh and blood, but by my Father in heaven. And I tell you that you are Peter, and on this rock I will build my church, and the gates of Hades will not overcome it. I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven; whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven.’ Then he ordered his disciples not to tell anyone that he was the Messiah.”
This is a great and impressive prophecy that Jesus spoke into Peter's life at the time that he was making huge blunders, prophesying that he would be the leader of the church that Jesus would build. Peter would be given keys of the kingdom of God and have authority to bind and loose whatever was in heaven. These verses are controversial. Among many interpretations, I found two notable ones. Some say that the rock, on which the church was founded, was Peter. Still others have seen this as a reference to Christ Himself, as He is the foundation of the church.
I feel that the two interpretations are correct, in that Peter was the rock only because of Jesus living inside of him when this prophecy was fulfilled. Practically all of us can look back to see how far the Lord has taken us. We are utterly amazed. Most of us have heard testimonies from many who Jesus is now living inside of them. Because of Jesus, they are now the righteousness of God.” To be continued in part 2

JOHN 2:18-22 - PRAISE YOU FOR SECURITY FORETOLD
Lord, may I look past the material blessings and meditate and rejoice at the victory of Your Resurrection from the dead and at my salvation in You! Just as You live and reign forever, so I will be resurrected with my new glorified body, unhindered; to dwell with You for eternity.
May I not be preoccupied with the successes and the events of the day, that my mind would not be trapped into limiting Your Great Power. The Jews couldn't figure out how You would destroy their temple and build another one in three days when it took them forty-six years to build the original one. Yes, all of man's resources of gold, silver, and other precious materials used to make the temple beautiful cannot match Your victorious resurrection so that I can sup with You and be in Your Presence! So, O Lord, let me meditate and rejoice in You, my temple, and may I abide in you forever!
