Wednesday, June 21, 2023 at 9:21AM Jesus' Faithfulness
Today is June 21, 2023
Welcome to your mid-week!
Faith is not an emotion. Faith is a two party arrangement where we are bond to Christ and he to us. That is what Jesus teaches us with his relationship with Apostle Peter. When our faith is high, we can walk on water. When our faith is little, Jesus holds us up.
Our faith may go up and down but Jesus remains the same. As he told his disciples before his ascension - "I am with you always, to the very end of the age.” (Matthew 28:20)
Apostle Paul will articulate this concept to Timothy by telling him - "When we are faithless, he remains faithful." (2 Timothy 2:13)
And the beauty of Jesus' faithfulness to us is that, not only is he always there, but, if we run back to him and seek him with all our hearts, he will welcome us and lead us back to the path of restoration.
That is what Jesus showed us when he welcomed Apostle Peter to the same kind of fire that Peter had denied him. Through Jesus' actions he took a symbol of Peter's failure and turned it into a symbol of a 2nd chance.
And that is what he does with us because he is faithful.
