-Jesus didn’t need Peter to die for Him but to live for Him. We need to die to our will, our selfishness, our flesh. If you can’t die to your flesh then how could you ever lay down your life?

-Jesus has finished the work for us. It’s our human nature that feels like we have to cover our sin and work to earn our salvation.

Finished: to bring to an end, to complete, to accomplish, signifies a special end to a potential

Jesus didn’t come to earth for discovery but to be the sacrifice that would pay for our sins. If Jesus paid the price then there is nothing else owed. There is no work to do; it is completed.

-Don’t deny who you are. When we are in persecution, our flesh wants to give up.

Tend to my sheep; protect, guard, covering . If we want sheep in our pasture, then we’ll have to deal with their poop too.

Feed my sheep.
