Passion Points of View: Garden of Gethsemane - Peter

God’s blessings to us give us openings to be hospitable to others. Our generosity shows both what and who we are about: Christ our Savior.

As his people, God gives us opportunities to serve and love one another. We are privileged to show his love by serving those around us.

We know and believe that Jesus forgives our sins, but why does guilt keep coming back? Guilt is the great wrecking-ball of sin, and it can steal our joy. In Christ, God takes away the guilt of our sin, too.

We are disciples of Jesus, learners who want to grow in God’s Word. That word causes us to crave pure spiritual milk that leads to salvation.

School, work, relationships, money, health, etc. Thinking about any of these things can be stressful. Where can we go with stress when it is stealing our joy? Our hope and consolation, Jesus, who fills our hearts.

Peter witnessed Jesus’ glory on a mountain. When we lose sight of who Jesus us, he reminds us that there is no match for him, the Son of God and our Savior.

We find ourselves bitter about missed opportunities. We hold grudges. Our anger can rob us of joy. Only through Jesus can we let go of anger and forgive others because we have been forgiven.
