Graceful Moments of Resurrections

Graceful Moments of Resurrections “I can’t believe you stood by me, after the terrible way I’ve treated you.” “I’m so blessed to have you with me again. Given my past behavior I feel I don’t deserve you.” “I treated strangers better than you. And still you forgave me.” Our selfish human behavior gets us in trouble. But when we are people who live with the passion of Christ, we will always forgive and be forgiven, we will grant allotments and receive another opportunity, and we can believe we will never be left alone. This is the promise of Christ. Place Jesus first in your life, and your life will always have many graceful moments of holy resurrections. John 13:31-33, 36-38 Jesus said, "Now the Son of Man has been glorified, and God has been glorified in him. If God has been glorified in him, God will also glorify him in himself and will glorify him at once. Little children, I am with you only a little longer. You will look for me; and as I said to the Jews so now I say to you, 'Where I am going, you cannot come.' Simon Peter said to him, "Lord, where are you going?" Jesus answered, "Where I am going, you cannot follow me now; but you will follow afterwards." Peter said to him, "Lord, why can I not follow you now? I will lay down my life for you." Jesus answered, "Will you lay down your life for me? Very truly, I tell you, before the cock crows, you will have denied me three times.
