The Cross

Judas, Peter, and you are all betrayers of Jesus, and yet He does the work necessary to forgive your sins.

On Good Friday, poetic justice is satisfied. Poetic mercy is all which remains.

Simon carried the cross, but Jesus was carried by the cross to death.

Out there the instincts to protect yourself from embarrassment, ridicule, and rejection can easily overcome you as they did Peter. Our only hope is in Peter’s Lord.
