I Will Finish Well
Peter finished well, but Judas did not – in their relationship with Jesus Christ. Let’s recall that both Peter and Judas sinned against the person of Jesus, but Peter found favor while Judas committed suicide.
Peter became the leader of the church after Jesus left, and even the one who was in the position to call for the replacement of Judas (Acts 1:15-20). Lord, pray for me as you did for Peter, I want to finish well (Luke 22:31-32)
