Luke 22:54 61a, 62 And the Lord turned, and looked upon Peter… And Peter went out, and wept bitterly.
That look! Look of tenderness, love, and yes, sorrow. A look that caused Peter to weep for his betrayal. He who said he would go to the ends of the earth, dropped the ball when it really counted. But that look was also a look of forgiveness. The Lord who knows our frame and our weakness, our failures and shortcomings does not cast us away. He knows the way we have taken and wants us to get back up. If we have sinned, confess to Him our failure. If we have erred in judgment, He see our humanity. Jesus looks and has compassion on us. Let us weep with joy that He cares, and wants us to come unto Him.
