Luke 22: 54-62 | P. Eric Yee
One Thing: Even when we turn away from the Lord, he still turns toward us.
I. Peter followed the Lord at a distance (vv. 54-55)
II. Peter denied any connection with the Lord (vv. 56-60)
Lessons from Peter:
- We must either deny self or deny Christ.
- You may be a very sincere, godly, devoted believer, but whose sinful nature is still very strong.
- We must prepare ourselves not to enter into temptation.
III. The Lord still turned toward Peter (vv. 61-62)
Lessons from Jesus:
- Your own love for Jesus is never going to carry you in the Christian life, but you must be driven by his love for you.
- Genuine repentance is always evidenced by a life of increasing obedience.
- We’re called to strengthen one another in our faith and followership of Christ.
