When Jesus Stopped Peter 7-8-2026
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
As I spent time in Luke 22 today, I found myself slowing down over one brief moment I've read many times before.
Peter drew his sword.
Jesus stopped him.
At first, it seems like a simple interruption.
But as I continued reading, I couldn't help but see something beautiful about the heart of Jesus.
📖 Today's Scripture: Luke 22:47–53 (NASB)
I'd encourage you to read the passage before or after today's Five More Minutes.
As you do, ask yourself:
"What does this moment reveal about the heart of Christ?"
Sometimes the prayers we think God didn't answer...
the doors He closed...
or the plans He interrupted...
may actually be expressions of His loving protection.
I look forward to spending Five More Minutes with you every single day!
"But Jesus answered and said, 'Stop! No more of this.'" — Luke 22:51 (NASB 1995)
