Hillis it is a blessing to have you in fellowship with us ❣️
Amen!
Great study. Peter is perplexing to me, and yet, we are all like Peter at times. He saw Jesus in all his glory, and still later denied him. We all stumble, embrace the world, and have moments when we fear the 'first death'. We cant stay awake in the Garden with our Lord for even one hour. Matt 26:40. None of us has perfect faith. Not Moses, not David, not Elijah, not Peter, etc. We see things that prove the power and glory of Jesus Christ, yet we forget or question what we saw or fear the world or simply let the world put us back to sleep. Maybe this is why Jesus told us, in the parable of the 10 virgins, that they ALL fell asleep (both the ones with enough oil and the one whose oil ran out.) Matt 25:5. So, as you point out, we all need to pray for more faith to sustain us, especially as His Coming draws near.
Well said Roy. When we pray for more faith, often we are asking for tribulation in our life, as the scripture says overcoming adversity is the key to greater faith.
What a BLESSING this fellowship is ❤️
