Peter reminds me of all of us.
Impulsive, boisterous, engage the mouth before you engage the brain.
I know some of you... you are self-righteous you go, "I know someone is like that."
No no this is about you.
And me.
Jesus was in the mountain, Mount Hermon I believe.
And the Bible says, "His face shone like the sun in its strength" Wow
Can you imagine?
Glory!
Jesus' face is shining, Moses appeared, Elijah appeared, Peter answered.
Nobody asked him anything!
If Moses could have blushed he would have blushed.
Peter looked at Jesus and began to do what Jesus did.
Walking on the water.
As long as your eye is on Jesus you can do amazing things.
As long as he put Jesus between him and the circumstance he puts Jesus...
He's ok.
And you will be ok as long as you put whatever you are beset with right now.
Sickness in your family, financial downturn, a bad habit, addiction, as long as you put
that thing alright?
Not between you and Jesus, but put Jesus between you and the thing, you will be ok.
You will conquer the thing.
What is the greatest thing to His heart?
Before He leaves to go to the Father?
His sheep.
And who did He entrust His sheep to?
To a man who fell denying with cursing and swearing that He knew Jesus.
Of all the disciples it was Peter who preached a sermon.
Not afraid of the Jews anymore.
These are the people.
Some of them, they were there when he denied knowing Jesus.
He preached to them and said, "You killed the Messiah, the Prince of life whom God has
raised from the dead."
And they were cut to their heart the Bible says and three thousand people were saved
at Peter's preaching.
He became a pillar.
