Mistakes Made Beautiful

January 6, 2015

Read: Luke 22:39-51

[Jesus] touched his ear and healed him. —Luke 22:51

Bible in a Year:
Genesis 16-17; Matthew 5:27-48

Early in his career, jazz player Herbie Hancock was invited to play in the quintet of Miles Davis, already a musical legend. In an interview, Hancock admitted being nervous but described it as a wonderful experience because Davis was so nurturing. During one performance, when Davis was near the high point of his solo, Hancock played the wrong chord. He was mortified, but Davis continued as if nothing had happened. “He played some notes that made my chord right,” Hancock said.

What an example of loving leadership! Davis didn’t scold Hancock or make him look foolish. He didn’t blame him for ruining the performance. He simply adjusted his plan and turned a potentially disastrous mistake into something beautiful.

What Davis did for Hancock, Jesus did for Peter. When Peter cut off the ear of one of the crowd who had come to arrest Jesus, Jesus reattached the ear (Luke 22:51), indicating that His kingdom was about healing, not hurting. Time after time Jesus used the disciples’ mistakes to show a better way.

What Jesus did for His disciples, He also does for us. And what He does for us, we can do for others. Instead of magnifying every mistake, we can turn them into beautiful acts of forgiveness, healing, and redemption.

Lord, You understand how prone we are to make
selfish and foolish mistakes. Forgive us and
restore us. Please, for Your name’s sake, use even
the worst aspects of our lives for Your glory.

Jesus longs to turn our mistakes into amazing examples of His grace.

Insight

Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John all record the story of Jesus’ disciple cutting off the servant’s ear (Matt. 26:51-52; Mark 14:47; Luke 22:50-51; John 18:10-11). Only Luke mentions the healing of the wound, and only John identifies the disciple (Peter) and the servant (Malchus).

Good evening, Mac...*HUGS*...were you able to work all day? Sickness didn’t drive you home?

Hope your whole family is feeling better.

It’s just cold here....it’s warmed up to 12, and the pea soup fog has lifted outside the window.

Good old YPG - The Marines in Yuma use it quite often. It is known for the “moon dust” that gets into everything and also heat.

Thanks for posting, brings back memories.
