Journey From Death To Life (Part 2) Series

Contributed by Brian Williams on Mar 28, 2023

Peter’s brokenness taught him a great lesson about the Lord’s love, faithfulness, forgiveness, and acceptance. Peter had his own journey from death to life. He realized he could not follow Jesus in his own strength. This realization kept him humble and dependent on Jesus.

We are coming to the end of Jesus’ earthly journey in the book of John and can see that these last few hours would be the most ...read more
