Giving up Good Intentions (3 of 10)
Series: The End
Jeremy Jernigan
Luke 22:31-34
1) Welcome to Central
a) Week 5 of your journal
b) Title: Giving Up Good Intentions
i) Hashtag: #theendseries
ii) Picture - Good intentions dog
c) ''The road to hell is paved with good intentions.''
i) Ever noticed how we measure ourselves by our intentions but measure others by their results?
ii) This is critical in understanding our passage today
2) Luke 22:31-34 ''Simon, Simon, Satan has asked to sift all of you as wheat. 32 But I have prayed for you, Simon, that your faith may not fail. And when you have turned back, strengthen your brothers.'' 33 But he replied, ''Lord, I am ready to go with you to prison and to death.'' 34 Jesus answered, ''I tell you, Peter, before the rooster crows today, you will deny three times that you know me.''
a) Verse 31 starts with an uncertain image
i) The word translated ''asked'' (NIV) or ''demanded'' (RSV) is found nowhere else in the NT or LXX.
ii) The nearest analogy is found in Job 1-2, where Satan is permitted to test Job.
b) ''Simon, Simon...''
i) There are actually 4 forms of his name in the NT
ii) Jesus probably uses Peter's ''Pre-Christian'' name intentionally, as he will revert to an earlier lifestyle after Jesus dies on the cross
(1) This is the start of a brief identity crisis for Peter
(2) (John 21 - returns to his old profession, fishing).
(3) I mean, how bad do things have to be to go back to fishing???
iii) If we are honest, a lot of Christians go through this
(1) You've been transformed by Christ
(2) But sometimes you feel like the ''old'' you
(3) You are not alone in this
c) Verse 33 - Peter meant what he said
i) Those were his intentions
ii) That was his reality
iii) But he has no idea what is coming
iv) This happens to every couple who gets married
(1) You make these great wedding vows to each other
(2) And then you learn how they squeeze the toothpaste from the middle instead of the end ...
