Friday: Further Thought – Peter and the Rock — 5 Comments

  1. "Rather than exacerbate the situation, He let it rest."

    Did He leave it totally without challenge?
    Read Desire of Ages p 433 & 434

    Jesus was master of tact and insight.

  2. This week has been focused on Peter and his relationship with Jesus. Peters' lessons were examples of the way that Jesus guided Peter as well as all the disciples to form many lasting impressions. The money in the fishes mouth made a lasting impression on the officials that collect the temple tax also. A significant position and probably well aware of Jesus and His reputation. Jesus was solving at least three problems. The tax collector, Peter, and Herod the king. It sounds like there may have been a question in the tax collectors mind as to whether the money was authentic, officially, stamped money. There is no doubt the piece of money that Peter took from the fishes mouth was a genuine Greek , tater. Meaning, a certain coin. How exact and final were the examples that Jesus provided for all to see. Including us as past witnesses.

  3. In the matter of avoiding conflict, How do you know when it’s time to speak and when it’s time to be silent?

  4. Bringing ourselves to God with reservations of certain things that we want to keep is like bringing a lame offering to God.

    Sometimes it's tough to give our will to God in a particular issue but we will be glad we did. God has a better vision and a larger field of vision than we do. We will be glad when we look back and see how he has led us in the past.

  5. In times of difficult situations that's where God reveal Himself to mankind. Our true maker knows what's good for us, so let's worship Him wholeheartedly and love our neighbor no matter how the situation may turns up to be, Amen.
