('Through all the changing scenes of life')

Matthew 26 v.30-35

*********

After Supper Jesus did go

To Mount of Olives so

With His disciples, He addressed

Them, this He sure confessed

 

That they would all be offended

The same night, he then said

For it is written, I will smite

The shepherd, this true, right

 

And sheep of fold shall be scattered

Abroad, and be disturbed

But after Jesus rose again

Went to Galilee then

 

Peter did say, Though all men fall

I still shall hear your call

I never will offended be

But stay the whole course, see

 

Jesus said, Truly ere cockerel

Crows aloud you shall fall

Shall deny me three times I know

Though you profess not so

 

Peter said, Though I with you die

I will not you deny

Likewise said the disciples all

But Christ knew they would fall

    THANKS FOR SHARING UNCLE STEVE ! Brian here ! We had a great Service this Morning @ Church. Some of our TEENS had been to Kenya with HAND IN HAND and gave a report ~ very moving ! We had riased money for a NEW ELECTRIC Water Pump ~ which they saw installed ! We take so much for granted (such as potable water on tap) in the UK & USA !
    None of us can be faithful 100% of the time but Peter really blew it big time. But JESUS forgave Him and he became one of the Pillars in the newly formed CHRISTIAN CHURCH ~ AMEN. In the First Century te CHRISTIANS everywhere really were *Fisher of Men* and the CHURCH grew and multiplied. The allegiaence to the Christian Church is slipping in the UK and only about 30% consider themsleves to be Christian. We seem to be heading for the END TIMES (See Book of Revelations !). We work in the Schools and the Community with the Gideons & YMCA & Salvation Army etc but many *DOORS* that were once open to the Gospel are now closing. We have to seize every opportunity in ans increasingly Pagan & Multifaith Society ! Prince Charles (if He ever becomes KING) wants to be *DEFENDER of the FAITHS* not just *THE FAITH* Christianity ~ Watch this Space !

    Thanks for your Daily Spiritual Shot in the ARM ~ appreciated
    BLESSINGS to you and Happy Hound
    YOURS ANGELA & BRIAN 🧡🧡🧡🧡 + 🧡

      fear is one hell of a motivator ....

      is it almost that time of year again, my word, how time flies.... N

        Thanks N. As I said to someone in a comment on another poem - there is terror-fear, such as Peter here (and who wouldn't be afraid in this situation); and also awe-fear of God, meaning reverence, respect, etc. Yep, Easter next month I think. I dunno what year it is, let alone season. lol.
