As we approach Good Friday this year, what’s the difference between the previous year and this year? We will remember the death of our dear Lord Jesus Christ, shed a few tears and post Easter Sunday, we will move on?
Exactly same thing happened after first Good Friday. The disciples moved on and went back to their own ways, thinking that it’s over.
“Simon Peter, Thomas (also known as Didymus), Nathanael from Cana in Galilee, the sons of Zebedee, and two other disciples were together. “I’m going out to fish,” Simon Peter told them, and they said, “We’ll go with you.” So they went out and got into the boat, but that night, they caught nothing.”
John 21:2-3 NIV
What Jesus did? He should have felt disappointed and frustrated with this behavior of disciples? He spent the important time of His life training them? He died and rose again as promised and yet, disciples turned back on Him?
The Bible demonstrates Love for those who despised and rejected Jesus. Jesus gently restored them to Himself. This love is different and unique, its from God. We can be different this Good Friday. We serve the Purposes of God. We live the Love of God and be different.
“When they had finished eating, Jesus said to Simon Peter, “Simon son of John, do you love me more than these?” “Yes, Lord,” he said, “you know that I love you.” Jesus said, “Feed my lambs.””
John 21:15 NIV
One speech of Testimony of Peter, after the Pentecost, transformed more than 3000 lives by the Power of God. Let’s boast about we being weak for then, God’s Power is displayed in us.
“But he said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses so that Christ’s power may rest on me. That is why, for Christ’s sake, I delight in weaknesses, in insults, in hardships, in persecutions, in difficulties. For when I am weak, then I am strong.”
2 Corinthians 12:9-10 NIV
Amen 🙏
