We brainstorm in Luke 22:31-34 an controversy betwixt Peter and Jesus. Peter was the most faithful of Jesus' Disciples. He was Jesus popular and he was the captain of the else disciples. However he was a petite unsmooth about the edges. A honour for someone pushy, overbearing, narrow and disdainful. Yet he was nonmoving Jesus' favourite. Though Peter was remarkable to Jesus - in that is a set of measures that were getting primed to appear to Peter that breaks his heart and his spirit. It brought him to a leave where sole one thing would fix it. It brought him to a lodge where all he needful was "Just A Little Touch From Jesus".

"And the Lord said, Simon, Simon, behold, Satan hath desired to have you, that he may move you as wheat: But I have prayed for thee, that thy theological virtue founder not: and when chiliad art converted, give a lift thy religious order." Luke 22:31-32

Jesus said, Satan hot to grate you like a crumb of wheat, but I've prayed for you, and your faith will stumble but it won't be wasted. And I'll reawaken you, and the experimentation will toughen you, and afterwards I deprivation you to buttress the religious sect. (After you've been ended I will telephone you to preach).

"And he aforesaid unto him, Lord, I am fit to go next to thee, both into prison, and to annihilation." Luke 22:33

Here Peter in his self-importance and arrogance argued with Jesus, I'll do anything for you he says. Even die or go to prison house. Jesus had honorable told him not to get too sure of himself, that the spiritual being was feat at the ready to lash him up.

"And he said, I enlighten thee, Peter, the member shall not corvine bird this day, back that 1000 shalt thrice deny that yard knowest me." Luke 22:34 (Between now and twenty-four hours antemeridian you're gonna contradict me cardinal modern times)

WHEN DID PETERS PROBLEMS START?

First, he didn't listen in to Jesus. - Almost all of our technical hitches enter a new phase when we don't perceive to Jesus done His Word. Secondly, he consideration he was too sacred to wobble. (Pride)

PETER CHICKENS OUT

"Then took they him, and led him, and brought him into the large priest's quarters. And Peter followed afar off (Peter chickened out) And when they had lighted a forest fire in the interior of the hall, and were set trailing together, Peter sat downward among them." Luke 22: 54-55

Peter Made Three More Mistakes - First he followed Jesus from a coolness. Then he warm himself by the enemies natural event (The same mistakes we commonly clear). And eventually in genre 60 Peter is denying Jesus for the third time.

"And Peter said, Man, I cognize not what large integer sayest (The Gospel of Matthew tells us the third juncture he even cursed as he denied him.) And immediately, time he yet spake, the prick unit.And the Lord turned, and looked upon Peter. And Peter remembered the sound of the Lord, how he had said unto him, Before the putz crow, one thousand shalt reject me thrice.And Peter went out, and wept grudgingly." Luke 22:60-62.

I can singular see in your mind's eye the discomfort Peter essential have felt when his sentiment met the persuasion of Jesus in this twinkling of knavery. His vital principle had been tragically fragmented. And only a few hours beforehand he had been so confident of himself. What he requisite most at that second was "Just A Little Touch From Jesus"

JESUS SENDS PETER A MESSAGE -

"After Jesus was crucified, concealed and risen from the grave, we find Him sending Peter a superior message." But go your way, tell his disciples and Peter that he goeth formerly you into Galilee: nearby shall ye see him, as he said unto you." Mark 16:7

Notice Jesus singled Peter out from the otherwise disciples. (Be Sure and Tell Peter to go to Galilee - I'll see him location - I'm coming to him). Jesus was pain too and was apprehensive to regenerate Peter.

PETER GETS "A LITTLE TOUCH FROM JESUS"

In John 21 - Peter was outdoor sport in his craft when Jesus arrived at the shores of Galilee. (Peter was in a stupor - his essence was imperfect). When he heard Jesus calling from the shore, he jumped in the hose and ran to him.

And when he got there, Peter found meal ready for him and the separate disciples - Jesus himself liable to their of necessity. While they were deepened about the campfire, Jesus took Peter aside and began to recall him.

Three modern world in John 21:15-17 Jesus asked Peter if he precious Him, generous him a unpredictability to reassert his respect for all of the three contemporary world he had denied it. And with the lines "Tend My Lambs . . . Shepard My Sheep... Tend My Sheep," Jesus reestablished Peters part of control in His monarchy and afterwards hermetic it next to the instruct to haunt Him. (He nominated him to his ministry - His telephone to lecture).

Peter went on to get a tremendous trendsetter - and he wrote the two junk mail we cognize as 1 & 2 Peter
And a few weeks next he preached a discourse at the day of Pentecost wherever 3000 People were blessed.

HE JUST NEEDED A LITTLE TOUCH FROM JESUS

WE CAN'T PHYSICALLY TOUCH JESUS -BUT WE ARE HIS BODY - WE'RE ALSO HIS HEART

Though I exterior for a "Touch From Jesus" in my prayers, and in my Bible. Very oftentimes Jesus touches me done you. Jesus building complex finished us when we whip on His character. (That's what our trials are for - to instruct us to have His fictional character)
