Judas and Peter are two
disciples with flaws. From the beginning, the two guys have the tendency of
stopping on the way.
Judas was a thief with
the bag (john 12: 4-6), and Peter was the forward one who is fast in speech but
slow in action (Luke 22:55-62).
But unfortunately for
Judas, that was him and he sees no reason why he should change or maybe he gave
it a little try but still went back to his vomit. Every opportunity to steal
what doesn’t belong to him was his major concern, even after been chosen by Jesus
(saved), none of the disciples but this one remained the same after they met
Jesus.
Talking about Peter,
maybe I should call him a parrot, bold enough to start a talk but weak to face
the action of such. The willingness in him is always expressed by his words,
Jesus saw that in him and prayed for him when devil desired him (Luke
22:31-32), more reason why he repented and was forgiven after denying Jesus,
“…Lord I am ready to go with thee, both into prison and to death” vs.33 of Luke
22, he was so sure of himself because deep down, that is what he wanted to do
but satan was at a corner watching and planning his destruction.
Judas knew he did
something wrong too but because Jesus’ words have not found a place in his
life, they’ve been falling on the wrong side because he was distracted by his
lust for money, major reason why he could not find any to refer to, he forgot
the same one he denied preached on forgiveness. He killed himself.
Peter wept and picked
up himself.
Heaven will never fail
to help those who are ready to receive help. Judas is one category of
Christian, Peter is another. Where can you be classified? One thing I realize
is that there is a person of God you can relate with in all situations, weaknesses,
challenges, joy and lots more.
