* We are made up of three parts - Spirit, Soul, and Body.

* Our soul is our mind, will, and emotions.

* Peter had just denied Jesus, felt the sting of conviction when the rooster crowed, and wept many bitter tears.

* Now we see how Judas responds when he felt the same sting of conviction.

* Look at the three aspects:

* 1) Remorse - this is a matter of the emotions - you feel bad for what you’ve done.

* 2) Regret - this is a matter of the mind - you know you’ve done wrong.

* 3) Repent - this is a matter of the will - you choose to ask forgiveness and change your ways.

* To repent you have to rely on God’s grace and mercy, and recognize His rightful place of authority in your life.

* Peter experienced all three, and he was forgiven.

* Judas stopped at two - he never repented, giving God the chance to forgive him.

* Bringing this back to business - how do you know who to fire?

* When they’ve done what Judas did, and feel remorse and regret but have no intention of repenting.

* You know they won’t recognize your rightful authority.

* I had to fire an agent once….
