!SURPRISING SALVATIONS!
SINFUL SIMON’S
LONG JOURNEY
TO SALVATION

HOW SINFUL SIMON’S
SALVATION WAS SURPRISING:

1. SIMON’S SELF-REALIZATION—“Go away from me, Lord; I am a sinful man!”

2. SIMON’S FEAR—“Then he began to call down curses on himself and he swore to them, ‘I don’t know the man!’”

NO ONE WAS MORE SURPRISED AT SIMON’S SALVATION THAN WAS SIMON!

3. PETER’S FAITH— “You are the Christ, the Son of the living God.”

4. PETER’S RESTORATION— “Feed my lambs.” “Take care of my sheep.” “Feed my sheep.”

“Go away from me, Lord; I am a sinful man!”

Peter is the archetype of all Christians.............

[Hebrews 11:6]

Sin>>>Repentance>>>Belief>>>Worship.................

#23 by Tissot. Peter shows that even a person of faith can be thrown off balance by weakness and fear.
