DAY EIGHT
Read Luke 22:54-65
Peter… the one who had just hours before uttered the words, “Lord, I am ready to go to prison with You and even die with you” (22:33), was now the very man denying he even KNEW Jesus.
And at the moment following his third denial, Peter’s eyes met those of Christ and suddenly he is convicted. Oh this part should bring us to tears. It’s not just sin that causes us grief, oh but when our eyes meet His, that we are deeply wounded by despair.
Describe a moment when you were convicted by God about a committed sin:
But let’s not forget that despite Peter’s past, Jesus had already called Him for a great future works declaring him as the “Rock” in which His church would be built (Matthew 16:18).
God can indeed turn our greatest mess into our greatest message!
Suggested Prayer: Father God, thank You for loving me in spite of my sin. Thank You for the conviction of the Holy Spirit and thank You that You don’t leave me in my sin, but that You make a way for it to be used to bring You honor and glory. Amen.
