Message: The gospel according to Luke Text: Luke 22:54-62
Simon Peter’s denial of Jesus—Jesus is not observing us in our pain, He enters our pain with us
Vs 57 Walking in Jesus’ shoes “Woman, I do not know Him.”
Vs 58 Walking in the apostle’s shoes “You also are of them.”
Vs 61-62 Walking in Simon Peter’s shoes. “And the Lord turned and looked at Peter.” How could Peter know Jesus was looking at him?
We can repent of our sins but we can’t atone for our sins…that’s what Jesus did. The apostle Paul said that if it’s of works it’s not of grace—we can’t have it both ways, either we’re saved by grace or we’re not saved.
We can repent of our sins, because Jesus paid for our sins.
Timothy Keller, "…the prerequisite for receiving the grace of God is to know you need it. If you want God's grace, all you need is need, all you need is nothing."
