JESUS SAYS TO PETER
PETER DO YOU LOVE ME
YES LORD I DO
PETER FEED MY LAMBS
.AGAIN JESUS ASKED PETER
PETER DO YOU LOVE ME
LORD YOU KNOW I DO
FEED MY SHEEP
A THIRD TIME JESUS ASKED
PETER DO YOU LOVE ME
TO WHICH
IF PETER HAD GROWN UP IN MY NEIGHBORHOOD
HE WOULD HAVE SAID
YO JESUS I ALREADY TOLD YOU TWICE
BUT PETER SAID
LORD YOU KNOW EVERYTHING
YOU KNOW MY HEART,
YOU KNOW I LOVE YOU
AND JESUS SAID FEED MY LAMBS.
THIS SCENE TO ME
IS ONE OF THE TENDEREST SCENES
IN THE NEW TESTAMENT
I VISION PETER
AS A BIG INARTICULATE BEAR OF A MAN
GIVEN TO RASH ACTION
STRIVING HARD TO FOLLOW THE LORD
SHOOTING HIMSELF IN THE FOOT AS HE GOES
SUFFERING FROM FOOT IN MOUTH DISEASE
AS WITNESSED BY WHAT HAPPENED NEXT
PETER TURNS AROUND
AND SPIES JOHN
RUMORED TO BE JESUS' FAVORITE
PETER SAYS
WHAT ABOUT THAT MAN
JESUS SAYS
WHAT IS THAT TO YOU
IT'S NONE OF YOUR BUSINESS.
TOP TO BOTTOM IN ZERO SECONDS
GOES PETER
GO PETER
EVERY MORNING WHEN I WASH MY FACE
I THINK I SEE PETER.
TOP TO BOTTOM IN ZERO SECONDS
GO PETER
BUT JESUS WANTS US TO KNOW
THAT WHAT WAS
IS NO MORE
THAT PAST FAULTS
ARE FORGOTTEN
FORGIVEN
THAT BECAUSE OF HIS DEATH
AND RESURRECTION
THE LOVE OF GOD FOR HIS CREATURES
HAS BECOME IRRATIONAL,
DOES NOT GO BY RULES
BY WHICH WE FEEL COMFORTABLE
THAT WHEN GOD LOOKS AT US
THAT WE ARE ALL INDIVIDUALLY
GOD'S FAVORITE
THAT HIS FORGIVENESS IS THERE
BEFORE WE SIN
WHILE WE SIN
AND AFTER WE SIN
THAT ALL WE HAVE TO DO
IS ASK FORGIVENESS
. TRY TO SIN NO MORE
THIS IS THE LESSON MARTIN LUTHER LEARNED
WHILE STUDYING THE SCRIPTURES
NAMELY
GALATIANS AND JOHN
THAT GOD LOVED HIM
INDIVIDUALLY AND TOTALLY..
THAT FORGIVENESS WAS FREE
AND FREELY GIVEN
THIS IS THE LESSON PETER LEARNED
THAT GOD LOVED HIM
GOOD TIMES AND BAD.
WHETHER STRONGLY DEFENDING JESUS
WITH A SWORD
OR COWERING BEFORE A SERVANT MAIDS GLANCE
HE WAS LOVED BEFORE
DURING
AND AFTER
HE SINNED
HE WAS LOVED
HIGH AND LOW
HE WAS LOVED
THIS IS A LESSON MY MOTHER
TAUGHT MY SISTERS AND I
I WILL LOVE YOU TOTALLY
AND INDIVIDUALLY WITH ALL MY HEART
AND THIS IS THE LESSON I DECLARE TO YOU TODAY.
I CAN DECLARE IT
BECAUSE GOD HAS DECLARED IT FIRST
AND THAT IS
THAT EACH OF US
INDIVIDUALLY
IS GOD’S FAVORITE
THAT WHEN HE LOOKS ON US
HIS CREATION
ALL IS FORGIVEN
ALL IS FORGOTTEN
EXCEPT HIS LOVE FOR US
OUR GOD HAS CARVED OUR NAME
ON THE PALM OF HIS HAND
THAT OUR NAME MIGHT ALWAYS BE BEFORE HIM
THAT EACH OF US HAS A SPECIAL PLACE IN HIS HEART
AND OVER THE DOOR
OF THAT PLACE
IS A SIGN THAT SAYS
HOME OF MY FAVORITE
