What discipleship means and where it may lead

Morning: Psalm 102; I Samuel 9:1-14; Acts 7:17-29
Evening: Psalm 107:1-32; Luke 22:31-38

At one poignant moment in “The Crown” TV series, King George VI asks his son-in-law Prince Philip whether he realizes how big a task he will face after George dies.  Philip says he does; George doubts it.  Simon Peter, too, does not know the hardships he will face when Jesus is arrested.  Those who choose to follow Jesus must not be naïve about what discipleship means and where it may lead.  Now Simon’s story is ultimately very encouraging … Jesus trusted that, even after failing badly, Simon Peter would recover, find new strength, and then strengthen his companions.
