The mercy of Jesus

But go your way, tell his disciples and Peter that he goeth before you into Galilee: there shall ye see him, as he said unto you. (Mark 16:7 KJV)

 Did you ever notice what the Lord said after He rose from the dead? He said, Go and tell the disciples and Peter. Why did He say that? Wasn’t Peter a disciple? Had he lost his salvation through his denial of Christ? Why do you suppose He said and Peter? He probably said it to encourage him. Peter probably thought he had lost his salvation. He probably thought he’d forfeited his discipleship through his denial. The Lord wanted to let him know he was still a disciple.
 The love of the Lord, the mercy of Jesus is so beautiful. My grandfather used to preach a whole sermon on that. “And Peter,” it was called, bringing out how much the Lord loved him to reassure him that when He called for His disciples to come, Peter would know that he, too, was called. They hadn’t all seen Him yet, and He wanted to see them all and manifest Himself. So He said and Peter to reassure Peter that he was forgiven.
 “The blood of Jesus Christ cleanses us from all sin.” (1 John 1:7) —David Brand Berg [1]

 Because the Lord Jesus died on the Cross, I have received forgiveness of sins; because the Lord Jesus rose from the dead, I have received new life; because the Lord Jesus has been exalted to the right hand of the Father, I have received the outpoured Spirit. All is because of Him; nothing is because of me. —Watchman Nee
