Peter: The Grace of New Beginnings
If only there was somebody that would let us look deep into his/her sinfulness, and then let us see a total transformation by the power of God!
There is - It's Peter! We don't get a few snapshots of his life in the Bible, we get a whole high-definition movie!
Jesus not only chose Peter as his first disciple - He seemed intent on spelling out all the "wise-guy" things that he said, all the arrogant comments, all the falling-on-his-face failures! And then in a logic that we struggle to understand, Jesus took the least likely person, and lifted him to the number one place in leadership among his disciples!
• Why would Jesus do that? Why did Jesus want Peter as his main storyline?
• Because, that's who the greatest number of us can relate to!
God uses an "in-your-face, arrogant, big-mouth, screw-up" to eventually become the most powerful, righteous voice in the Early Church! He did it, to show us just how far his grace can and will, bring each of us toward "maximum eternal life impact," if only we are willing!
