Who is Your
Favorite Person in the Scriptures?
I
like Peter, the senior apostle of Jesus Christ, found in the New
Testament.
Peter
has many human qualities. (John 13:36
-38)
He
is not perfect.
Sometimes
his faith is waivered. (Matthew 14:27 -
30)
He
isn't always in control of his emotions.
(John 21:7)
He
seems a bit hard-hearted at times. (Mark
8:32)
Though
he tries to understand certain things, sometimes he just doesn't get it. (John 13: 8 - 10; 21:15-17)
He
tries hard to please his Master. (Matthew 26:35, Mark 10:28; John 2:37)
He
tries to defend him. (John 18:10)
He
makes mistakes. (Luke 22: 34; Mark 14 :70-72)
He
is forgiven. (D&C 64:2-4)
I
relate to Peter because so many of his human qualities are represented.
He's
not perfect. But the Savior loves him no
matter what. And He forgives him.
Peter
gives me hope. (Matthew 16:18)
