When We Fail Jesus [Wednesday, #344]

Who was the biggest failure in the New Testament? A person that comes to mind is Peter. This man was an enthusiastic follower of Jesus. He pretty much stated he’d go to the ends of the earth for his Lord. However, he failed Jesus in his hour of greatest need. As the Savior was going through the suffering leading up to the crucifixion, Peter was asked three times if he was an ally of Jesus. Each time, he denied even knowing him. Peter was a terrible friend that night. He failed Jesus. How do you feel when you fail Jesus? Depending on how severe the offense, you probably experience a range of emotions. Today, we'll explore how to climb out of the hole. KEY PASSAGE: Galatians 2:20-21 (NIV) I have been crucified with Christ and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me. The life I now live in the body, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me. I do not set aside the grace of God, for if righteousness could be gained through the law, Christ died for nothing! RESOURCES: --> Take the Free PERSONAL SELF-ASSESSMENT. It only takes 3 minutes.
