<div class="SSN_title">"WELCOME BACK."</div>
<div class="SSN_intro">Intro: At Ceasarea Philli, Peter began his movement away from the Lord when Jesus made the first mention of the cross. Here we see his final step of restoration as he is told of his own cross and challenged to follow.</div>
<div class="SSN_rnum">I. FIRST STEP BACK; <a onClick="return mV('Luk',22,31);">Luke 22:31</a>,<a onClick="return mV('Luk',22,32);">32</a>, "SATAN HAS DESIRED..."</div>
<div class="SSN_level2">A. Peter is revealed to be in the midst of a conflict.</div>
<div class="SSN_level3">1. Satan desires to sift him.</div>
<div class="SSN_level3">2. Jesus is praying for him that his faith fails not.</div>
<div class="SSN_level4">a. Was the prayer of Jesus answered? Yes.</div>
<div class="SSN_level4">b. His courage failed, his obedience, not faith.</div>
<div class="SSN_level2">B. Many can identify with Peter here.</div>
<div class="SSN_level3">1. In the severe test, your courage failed.</div>
<div class="SSN_level3">2. You have denied Him in your actions.</div>
<div class="SSN_level3">3. Your obedience has failed not your faith.</div>
<div class="SSN_rnum">II. <a onClick="return mV('Luk',22,61);">LUKE 22:61</a>, "AND THE LORD TURNED AND LOOKED UPON..."</div>
<div class="SSN_level2">A. What kind of look do you suppose?</div>
<div class="SSN_level3">1. I know how I might have looked.</div>
<div class="SSN_level4">a. In anger.</div>
<div class="SSN_level4">b. In hurt, "How could you?".</div>
<div class="SSN_level3">2. I think it was a look of pity and love.</div>
<div class="SSN_level4">a. I believe he saw the sorrow he was bringing to himself by his actions.</div>
<div class="SSN_level4">b. The look broke Peter's heart. He left the enemies' fire and went out and wept bitterly.</div>
<div class="SSN_level4">c. Have you left the enemies' fire?</div>
<div class="SSN_rnum">III. <a onClick="return mV('Mar',16,7);">MARK 16:7</a>: "GO TELL THE DISCIPLES AND PETER."</div>
<div class="SSN_level2">A. These have been three bitter days.</div>
<div class="SSN_level3">1. Peter had no doubt been tortured by the thought that the last thing the Lord heard him say were words of cursing and denial.</div>
<div class="SSN_level4">a. He really didn't mean it, he was sorry but how could he tell Him now?</div>
<div class="SSN_level2">B. As the ladies, excited, relate their story of the empty tomb and the message of the angel, "Go tell His disciples...and Peter."</div>
<div class="SSN_level3">1. Had they just said disciples, "Peter would have thought I was once one, but I failed..."</div>
<div class="SSN_rnum">IV. <a onClick="return mV('Luk',24,33);">LUKE 24:33</a>,<a onClick="return mV('Luk',24,34);">34</a>: "THE LORD IS RISEN AND HAS APPEARED UNTO SIMON."</div>
<div class="SSN_level2">A. Just where, when, and how, the scriptures are silent.</div>
<div class="SSN_level3">1. What Jesus said to him is not recorded, and rightfully so.</div>
<div class="SSN_level4">a. There are intensely personal things shared by the penitent heart to the Master that must forever remain personal.</div>
<div class="SSN_level3">2. I believe He might have said, "Peter, when I spoke of My cross you rebelled, but now through My shed blood there is forgiveness."</div>
<div class="SSN_rnum">V. <a onClick="return mV('Jhn',21,1);">JOHN 21</a>; THE FINAL MOVEMENT BACK.</div>
<div class="SSN_level2">A. First, the challenge of Peter's love.</div>
<div class="SSN_level3">1. Peter denied in the city; Jesus brings him back to the country.</div>
<div class="SSN_level3">2. He was by the enemies' fire; now he is by the fire Jesus kindled.</div>
<div class="SSN_level3">3. Peter denied three times; Jesus gives him three opportunities to confess his love.</div>
<div class="SSN_level3">4. Peter is not brought to a formal court, but to an informal breakfast.</div>
<div class="SSN_level3">5. Here Peter was asked, "Do you love me?"</div>
<div class="SSN_level4">a. The two Greek words for love.</div>
<div class="SSN_level4">b. Did Peter ever rise to the higher word?</div>
<div class="SSN_level5">1. Yes, in his epistles.</div>
<div class="SSN_level5">2. "Lord, you don't know me, I will never deny you."</div>
<div class="SSN_level5">3. "Lord, you know all things, you know I love you."</div>
<div class="SSN_level3">6. Get away from the world's fires and let Him kindle a fire in your life. You have no need in your nature that He cannot supply.</div>
<div class="SSN_level2">B. Next, the challenge to "Follow Me."</div>
<div class="SSN_level3">1. He lays before Peter his own cross then says, "Follow Me."</div>
<div class="SSN_level3">2. I spoke of my cross and you left Me.</div>
<div class="SSN_level4">a. My cross led to My crowning.</div>
<div class="SSN_level4">b. Follow Me.</div>
<div class="SSN_level2">C. The Savior who restored Peter is waiting for you.</div>
<div class="SSN_level3">1. He has built the fire, He invites you to come.</div>
