Transcript Peter And Judas - Medina Church of Christ

Two Men
Comparisons & Contrasts
Two Men Were Called To Be
Apostles.
 And he called to him his twelve disciples and
gave them authority over unclean spirits, to cast
them out, and to heal every disease and every
infirmity. The names of the twelve apostles are
these: first, Simon, who is called Peter, and
Andrew his brother; James the son of Zebedee,
and John his brother; Philip and Bartholomew;
Thomas and Matthew the tax collector; James
the son of Alphaeus, and Thaddaeus; Simon
the Cananaean, and Judas Iscariot, who
betrayed him. (Matthew 10:1-4 RSV)
Both Men Witnessed His
Teaching
 After this many of his disciples drew
back and no longer went about with him.
Jesus said to the twelve, "Do you also
wish to go away?" Simon Peter
answered him, "Lord, to whom shall we
go? You have the words of eternal life;
and we have believed, and have come to
know, that you are the Holy One of God."
(John 6:66-69 RSV)
Both Men Witnessed Jesus’
Miracles
 Now Jesus did many other signs in the
presence of the disciples, which are not written
in this book; but these are written that you may
believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God,
and that believing you may have life in his
name. (John 20:30-31 RSV)
 But there are also many other things which
Jesus did; were every one of them to be written,
I suppose that the world itself could not contain
the books that would be written. (John 21:25
RSV)
Both Men Were Given Power
To Perform Miracles
 (Matthew 10:1-4) And he called to him his
twelve disciples and gave them authority over
unclean spirits, to cast them out, and to heal
every disease and every infirmity. The names of
the twelve apostles are these: first, Simon, who
is called Peter, and Andrew his brother; James
the son of Zebedee, and John his brother;
Philip and Bartholomew; Thomas and Matthew
the tax collector; James the son of Alphaeus,
and Thaddaeus; Simon the Cananaean, and
Judas Iscariot, who betrayed him. (RSV)
Both Men Were Given Help
From The Holy Spirit
 (Matthew 10:17-20) Beware of men; for they will
deliver you up to councils, and flog you in their
synagogues, and you will be dragged before
governors and kings for my sake, to bear
testimony before them and the Gentiles. When
they deliver you up, do not be anxious how you
are to speak or what you are to say; for what
you are to say will be given to you in that hour;
for it is not you who speak, but the Spirit of your
Father speaking through you. (RSV)
Both Men Knew He Was The Son
Of God
 Now when Jesus came into the district of
Caesarea Philippi, he asked his
disciples, "Who do men say that the Son
of man is?" And they said, "Some say
John the Baptist, others say Elijah, and
others Jeremiah or one of the prophets."
He said to them, "But who do you say
that I am?" Simon Peter replied, "You
are the Christ, the Son of the living God."
(Matthew 16:13-16 RSV)
 John 6:66-69
Both Men Let Satan Enter Their
Hearts
 Judas

(Luke 22:3-4) Then
Satan entered Judas,
surnamed Iscariot, who
was numbered among
the twelve. So he went
his way and conferred
with the chief priests
and captains, how he
might betray Him to
them. (NKJV)
 Peter

(Luke 22:31-32) And
the Lord said, "Simon,
Simon! Indeed, Satan
has asked for you, that
he may sift you as
wheat. "But I have
prayed for you, that
your faith should not
fail; and when you
have returned to Me,
strengthen your
brethren." (NKJV)
Both Men Fell
 Judas

(Luke 22:47-48) And
while He was still
speaking, behold, a
multitude; and he who
was called Judas, one
of the twelve, went
before them and drew
near to Jesus to kiss
Him. But Jesus said to
him, "Judas, are you
betraying the Son of
Man with a kiss?"
(NKJV)
 Peter

(Luke 22:58-60) And after
a little while another saw
him and said, "You also
are of them." But Peter
said, "Man, I am not!"
Then after about an hour
had passed, another
confidently affirmed,
saying, "Surely this fellow
also was with Him, for he
is a Galilean." But Peter
said, "Man, I do not know
what you are saying!"
Immediately, while he was
still speaking, the rooster
crowed. (NKJV)
Both Men Were Sorry
 Judas

(Matthew 27:3-4) Then
Judas, His betrayer,
seeing that He had
been condemned, was
remorseful and brought
back the thirty pieces
of silver to the chief
priests and elders,
saying, "I have sinned
by betraying innocent
blood." And they said,
"What is that to us?
You see to it!" (NKJV)
 Peter

(Luke 22:61-62) And
the Lord turned and
looked at Peter. And
Peter remembered the
word of the Lord, how
He had said to him,
"Before the rooster
crows, you will deny
Me three times." So
Peter went out and
wept bitterly. (NKJV)
Both Men Reacted
 Judas

(Matthew 27:5)
Then he threw
down the
pieces of silver
in the temple
and departed,
and went and
hanged
himself.
(NKJV)
 Peter

(John 21:15-17) So when they had
eaten breakfast, Jesus said to Simon
Peter, "Simon, son of Jonah, do you
love Me more than these?" He said to
Him, "Yes, Lord; You know that I love
You." He said to him, "Feed My
lambs." He said to him again a second
time, "Simon, son of Jonah, do you
love Me?" He said to Him, "Yes, Lord;
You know that I love You." He said to
him, "Tend My sheep." He said to him
the third time, "Simon, son of Jonah,
do you love Me?" Peter was grieved
because He said to him the third time,
"Do you love Me?" And he said to Him,
"Lord, You know all things; You know
that I love You." Jesus said to him,
"Feed My sheep. (NKJV)

Peter’s Steps Back To God (Lk
22:61,62)
 Memory
 Look Toward Jesus
 He went out
 He wept bitterly
 He got back to work
(1 John 1:8-9) If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and
the truth is not in us. If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to
forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. (NKJV)
We Must Press On!
 (Philippians 3:13-14) Brethren, I do not consider
that I have made it my own; but one thing I do,
forgetting what lies behind and straining forward
to what lies ahead, I press on toward the goal
for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ
Jesus. (RSV)
 (Galatians 6:9) And let us not grow weary in
well-doing, for in due season we shall reap, if
we do not lose heart. (RSV)
Anonymous Poem
Press on. Nothing in the world Can take
the place of persistence.
Talent will not; Nothing is more common
Than unsuccessful men With talent.
Genius will not; Unrewarded genius Is
almost a proverb.
Education will not; The world is full of
Educated derelicts.
Persistence and determination Alone are
important.
Be Faithful Unto
Death!
(Revelation 2:10) Do not fear what you are
about to suffer. Behold, the devil is about
to throw some of you into prison, that you
may be tested, and for ten days you will
have tribulation. Be faithful unto death,
and I will give you the crown of life.
(RSV)
