Jude and Peter

1325Isaiah 1:18
“Come now, and let us reason together,” said the Lord. “Though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool.

People tend to think that Jude has bigger sins in the presence of God than Peter. That’s why he does not deserve to be forgiven. This statement is totally wrong. For as much as our sins, Lord can forgive us. The problem is, are we, sinners, willing to repent or not? That happens to Peter and Jude. This is not about how big or not our sins, but it’s about the repentance.
Jude felt sorry for his sins, indeed. It is proven by his attitude giving back the blood money which was used to sell Lord Jesus to the chiefs of religious leaders or the elders. Unfortunately, after it happened, he was not going back to Lord, otherwise, he ended up his life [bible]Matth27:5[/bible].
It is contrary to Peter. After he denied God for 3 times, he felt sorry to God. He ran away leaving his identity as disciple and went back to be fisherman. Yet, when Jesus met Peter after his resurrection, Peter gave himself back to God [bible]0John21:1-9[/bible].
Lord does hate sin, however He loves sinners so much. Lord will not cast away sinners who want to get back to God. Lord is definitely willing to accept those who are willing to come before Him. Whoever we are, no exception. For as much as our sins, God absolutely forgives us and cleans up our sins as white as snows as long as we have a willingness to feel sorry and repent heartily. Feeling sorry means that we admit that we are wrong and grieving for our sins. Repentance means that we really want to leave those sins and surrender to God. RY
Do not resolve sins by our ways, yet resolve sins by God’s way.
