Thought for the Week

from Anglican Mothers Union Australia

Sunday 28th June

The Apostle Peter

‘The Lord turned and looked straight at Jesus’
(Luke 22:61)

The name Peter means ‘rock’, the rock you can rely on.
But when Peter is put to the test, he was weak. He had sworn to stay with Jesus.
But now, three times, he disowns Jesus and refuses to stand by him. It must have
been awful to be know that Jesus, fully aware of Peter’s sin, had turned to look at him.
No wonder he went outside and wept. And yet, after the resurrection,
Peter is forgiven and restored. It is not surprising that having been treated with such love,
he becomes the one leading Apostles and even gives up his life for the sake of the Lord.
This is the power of repentance and forgiveness, blessed by the Spirit of God.

Question for thought: How am I like Peter?

Almighty God, we thank you for the 150 years of Mothers Union. We especially
give thanks for the vision of Mary Sumner in bringing women together who trust
in you to support one another and strengthen marriage and Christian family life.  Amen.
