Whispers of His Power – JANUARY 22

After speaking of Peter’s fall, which He foresaw, our dear Lord immediately says, Let not your heart be troubled.  He saw across that day of grief to the restoration that would follow.  His eyes were not fixed on the sad interruption to fellowship and joy, but on the hour when Peter would be back in love again, never again to grieve his Lord like that.  And so to the surprised and surely greatly troubled little company He said, Let not your heart be troubled.

Most of us have things which would naturally greatly trouble us.  Let us face these things as our Lord Jesus did in John 13.38 and then go straight on into Chapter 14.1.

oooOOOooo
