Thought for Thursday April 5


O Lord, our God, how wonderful your name in all the earth!
All sheep and oxen,
yes, and the beasts of the field,
The birds of the air, the fishes of the sea,
and whatever swims the paths of the seas.
O Lord, our God, how wonderful your name in all the earth!


Acts 3: 11 – 26  When Peter saw this, he addressed the people,  "… The God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, the God of our fathers, has glorified his servant Jesus whom you handed over and denied in Pilate's presence, when he had decided to release him.  You denied the Holy and Righteous One and asked that a murderer be released to you. The author of life you put to death, but God raised him from the dead; of this we are witnesses….”

Has Peter forgotten that he denied Jesus?    Does he have any right to chastise others for their role without acknowledging his?

Action:  Own up to your failings.
