Lucas 22

Lucas 22

Trapp adds "A wonderful work of God it was surely, that hereupon he was not hewn in an hundred pieces by the barbarous soldiers." What a difference the day makes, especially if it is the Day of Pentecost, the day when Peter received the gift of the Spirit! When Peter used sword-power he could only cut off ears. But filled with the Spirit and using the sword of the Spirit (Eph 6:17), the word of God which is "living and active and sharper than any two-edged sword, and piercing as far as the division of soul and spirit, of both joints and marrow, and able to judge the thoughts and intentions of the heart" (Heb 4:12), Peter was able to pierce hearts for God's glory! (Acts 2:37) And every believer has access to the same powerful "divine sword!" Are you using your "sword" for God's glory?
