Jesus & Peter - Prior To/Following The Crucifixion (ENCOUNTERS)
Show Notes

An interesting encounter to finish up this batch of episodes, we are looking at Peter:  prior to Jesus' death and after His resurrection.  Why is this encounter important?  We know a lot about Peter but in the hours immediately preceding Jesus' crucifixion, he is led astray but doubt and fear.  He denies Christ 3 times.  It is probably his lowest point.  From there, he and the other disciples scatter.  In 3 day's time however, Jesus is raised and He goes on to appear to the disciples, including Peter.  He makes a point to address Peter and asks him, "Do you love Me?"  This is not only part of Peter's restoration but also a charge to fulfull the calling he now will have:  "Feed My sheep."  This encounter is an important place to end this series.  Peter had doubts yet Jesus sought Him out and gave him purpose and vision for his life.  We can have doubts as well.  But Jesus is always in the process of revealing Himself to us.  He does this so that we can trust Him more fully and be partners with Him in advancing His kingdom.  Amen!
