After Peter had denied Jesus 3 times, God did this.
Angel speaking to women:
6 “Don’t be alarmed,” he said. “You are looking for Jesus the Nazarene, who was crucified. He has risen! He is not here. See the place where they laid him. 7 But go, tell his disciples and Peter, ‘He is going ahead of you into Galilee. There you will see him, just as he told you.’”
"Go, tell the disciples...
AND PETER
that Jesus is risen!"
Peter, of all people, was the one God sought.
What an amazing God we serve.
My parents pointed this passage out to me this weekend. I am thankful that my mom and dad, despite my stubborn and oh so judgmental heart, keep pointing me back to the grace of Jesus on the cross. That is the only thing that will change my heart of stone into one of humble gratitude...in the course of a lifetime.
