Christ is our example“Surely He has borne our griefs and carried our sorrows…” (Isaiah 53:4)

Consider what Jesus did for Peter:• Jesus prayed for Peter in time of trial (Luke

22:31-32)• Jesus comforted & strengthened Peter when

he was at his lowest (Matt. 26:75; Mark 16:7; John 21)

What Jesus did for Peter, He expected Peter to do

for others!
