* When Jesus first responded all the men fell to the ground.

* Peter probably thought, “Yea! Take that!”

* But the second time the men didn’t fall down.

* Maybe Peter thought, “Come on Jesus! Do it again.”

* But Jesus let them take Him.

* So what did Peter do when Jesus didn’t respond like he thought He should?

* He took matters into his own hands.

* He may have thought, “Well, if you’re not going to fight I will!”

* We do the same when we don’t see Jesus doing what we think He should do.

* The result is that we hurt people, just like Peter did.
