Rediscover Jesus, Part 82: “The Lord Still Turns Toward Us”

Luke 22: 54-62 | P. Eric Yee

One Thing: Even when we turn away from the Lord, he still turns toward us.

I. Peter followed the Lord at a distance (vv. 54-55)

II. Peter denied any connection with the Lord (vv. 56-60)

Lessons from Peter:

• We must either deny self or deny Christ.
• You may be a very sincere, godly, devoted believer, but whose sinful nature is still very strong.
• We must prepare ourselves not to enter into temptation.

III. The Lord still turned toward Peter (vv. 61-62)

Lessons from Jesus:

• Your own love for Jesus is never going to carry you in the Christian life, but you must be driven by his love for you.
• Genuine repentance is always evidenced by a life of increasing obedience.
• We’re called to strengthen one another in our faith and followership of Christ.
