Lent is a time of preparation for for the most important time in the Christian calendar, so it is fitting that we finish our readings on Jesus' death and resurrection.
I have a natural affinity with the story of Peters restoration. One thing that is important to remember is that peter needed this restoration not for Jesus' sake but for Peters I think he would have found it hard to forgive himself. Jesus made it clear to all that Peter had been forgiven for his stumble. We need to learn to forgive ourselves also, we will fail and make mistakes but Jesus doesn't hold them against us. We can be our own worst enemy.
Have a safe and happy Easter!
See you on North beach Wallaroo at 9 am Friday morning for our special communion service and then at Elizabeth str Wallaroo at the normal time of 10am on Sunday.
