Peter as a leader?
I discover the more I search the Bible the more I learn about myself and God's love. This morning I was looking at Acts Chapter 1:15 and saw that Peter was the one to stand in front of the people to give them direction on what they should do next. They had to choose someone to replace Judas, and Peter gave leadership to the 120 gathered there.
Peter? Was he the most likely candidate to lead the people? Isn't he the same Peter that denied Christ three times (John 13:38)? Isn't he the one that jumped in the water and swam to shore to see Jesus in John 21 when the others rowed in the boat?
Remember those who he was leading knew about his past and the errors of his way.
What made Peter the leader when others were probably more qualified? I think it was because he was a man after God's heart and he understood that God can use imperfect people.
All of us have our imperfections and yet God chooses to use us to reach out to people. I am glad for a God that can look beyond our faults and see something in us that we cannot see in ourselves.
He can use you too!!!
