Saint Peter Encounter with Jesus

When Jesus came into the coasts of Caesarea Philippi, he asked his disciples, saying, Whom do men say that I the Son of man am? 16- And Simon Peter answered and said, Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God.” (Matthew 16:13; 16 KJV)

We experienced failures, but what do we do with it? What do you do when your brother is wounded? Do we minister to our wounded soldier? When you do things for God, people sometimes will always have something to say either positive or negative. Peter failed the Lord, But God restored him. And here in this unforgettable day in the life of Peter during his encounter with the Lord Jesus Christ made a great declaration of the deity of the Son of God. It could cover up all his failures, his arrogance, his anger problem, and distorted mind set.

That’s what happens to a soul who recognized and accepted the Lord as their Savior, and put the Lord’s Kingship in proper perspective in his own Christian life. We may fail, we may get wounded or tempted, but don’t forget Jesus is still in His throne, and He is the King of kings and Lord of lords. You may fail, but don’t fail to recognize such failure with humility in the throne of His grace. “But this man, after he had offered one sacrifice for sins forever, sat down on the right hand of God;” (Hebrews 10:12 KJV)
