And Peter

“But go, tell His disciples – and Peter – that He is going before you into Galilee; there you will see Him, as He said to you” (Mark 16:7; NKJV).

On Sunday the angel spoke two of my favorite words in all of Scripture: “and Peter.”

The Thursday before Peter spoke a number of words. Words of rebuke. Vehement words of disagreement. Words of denial.

Peter rebuked God. He vehemently disagreed with God. He verbally denied God three times.

Peter had a long way to go, but God wasn’t finished with him yet: “But go, tell His disciples – and Peter.” Do you have a long way to go too? Be encouraged! God is not finished with you either: “being confident of this very thing, that He who has begun a good work in you will complete it until the day of Jesus Christ” (Philippians 1:6; NKJV).
