Comm.

Not to give you my entire sermon from Sunday (4/6), but amazed how God has given you this topic today.
I know again it is one of those WOW moments, when God confrims what we are to be about doing for the Kingdom.

"Open to God" and I might add to the unconditional love He gives. A great example is that of meeting again with the Disciples after His resurrection.
"When they had finished eating, Jesus said to Simon Peter, "Simon son of John, do you truly love me more than these?" "Yes, Lord," he said, "you know that I love you." Jesus said, "Feed my lambs."
Again Jesus said, "Simon son of John, do you truly love me?" He answered, "Yes, Lord, you know that I love you." Jesus said, "Take care of my sheep."
The third time he said to him, "Simon son of John, do you love me?" Peter was hurt because Jesus asked him the third time, "Do you love me?" He said, "Lord, you know all things; you know that I love you." Jesus said, "Feed my sheep.” John 21:15-17

Looking at your posted examples we can find in this Scripture all of these to a man who deined Christ 3 times, but who the Lord forgave with His perfect unconditional love!

I know my Redeemer Lives!
