In this sermon Peter’s Lesson Of Love For Souls, we recall that when Peter denied the Lord. It was because Peter did not want to risk his neck. Peter was so full of self. The same self-concern caused him to declare his love for Christ was greater than the other disciples, was the self-concern that caused him to want to save his own neck when confronted by those who questioned his association with Jesus. We have heard of God’s AGAPE love that loves us without expecting anything in return. And that is a very blessed love He has for us.  But there is another angle that we are seeing in this kind of love when it comes to Peter and his situation. Peter was so self-involved that he made up his mind that he would love Jesus more than all the others would love Jesus. It was a will-love and a choice-love, but it was based upon self-exaltation and being better than the others.
