Coming up on the Potter's Touch.

I could fall for the lesson of my enemy and be prideful and boastful.

I could fall for the lesson of my enemy, but lose my family. Because the real test wasn't whether or not you could be like the fellas.

The real test was whether or not you could be a husband.

The real test wasn't whether or not you could be successful.

The real test was whether or not you could maintain your integrity.

That wasn't the real test. You gotta make sure what's the real test was whether or not you could maintain your integrity. That wasn't the real test. You got to make sure what's the real test here?

Because I want to own this lesson.

To be in relationship with Jesus

is to not just lust after his power.

It is to also hunger for his correction.

It is to know that this is going to be a cycle of me hitting the mark and missing the mark. And hitting the mark and missing the mark.

And so when Jesus and Peter are having this conversation to me, it is the most powerful

because it is one of the only times I think in Scripture where we see someone who says,

no, I can meet the mark and Jesus says, no, you can.

You can be who you want to be in this moment and part of the reason

why he has to trust him is because Peter is walking into something he's never

seen before you've never seen what's about to happen you've seen me cast out

devils you've seen me talk to the Sadducees and the Pharisees.

You've seen me heal people.

But what you're about to see, you've never seen before,

and you cannot trust that that version of you
