Christ is our example“Surely He has borne our griefs and carried our sorrows…” (Isaiah 53:4)
Consider what Jesus did for Peter:• Jesus prayed for Peter in time of trial (Luke
22:31-32)• Jesus comforted & strengthened Peter when
he was at his lowest (Matt. 26:75; Mark 16:7; John 21)
What Jesus did for Peter, He expected Peter to do
for others!
What Jesus did for us, we are to do for others!
