The Humanness of
Failure
“Peter then denied again; and immediately a rooster crowed.”
John 18:27
The apostle Paul failed; Peter failed; every one of the
twelve apostles failed. David,
Israel’s
greatest king, “a man after God’s own heart failed,” failed. Moses, giant among
the Israelites, giver of the law, deliverer of the people, failed. Jacob,
father of Israel,
failed; Isaac, son of promise, failed. Abraham, leader of Israel, father
of the faithful, prototype of those who are righteous through faith, failed.
Even our first parents, in their human perfection, failed.
Who hasn’t failed?
Thought for the Day:
“We are all men,
feeble, frail and apt to faint.”
-- Charles Spurgeon
