Season of Hope: The Impulsive One

MARCH 9, 2024[

And [Peter] said to Him, “Lord, You know all things; You know that I love You.”
John 21:17

 Recommended Reading: John 21:15-19

Peter was an apostle marked by impulsiveness.

When the Lord Jesus was being arrested, Peter whipped out his sword and cut off the ear of the high priest’s servant (John 18:10-11). Later, he would deny knowing Jesus three separate times; though when Jesus predicted these events, Peter claimed he would never deny Him (Matthew 26:33-35).

Immediately after the third denial Peter remembered Jesus’ prediction. Guilt-ridden, he went into hiding with the other disciples (Matthew 26:69-75). When Jesus revealed Himself to the disciples after His resurrection, He talked with Peter, and Peter was restored (John 21:15-19). He was forgiven! The Resurrection changed Peter, but it was the restoration of Peter that truly changed him.

Peter had been to the lowest part of his life, felt the forgiving love of Christ, and had a new power and urgency to spread the Good News. He was filled with the Holy Spirit. God can and does use somebody after they have failed. Peter is a wonderful illustration of that.

Are you impulsive like Peter? Because of the Cross, you, too, can be restored and used by God to further His Kingdom!

The Spirit of God gives a sense of restraint to impulsiveness.
Oswald Chambers
