How

To

Make

Trees

or

Christmas

Trees

Out

Of

Paperback

Books

This

project

is

quite

easy

to

do

once

you

get

the

knack

of

the

folding

its

just

a

matter

of

repeating

the

process

It

is

also

cheap

as

secondhand

paperback

books

dont

cost

much

the

books

I

used

were

discarded

from

my

local

library

It

was

nice

to

be

recycling

or

upcycling

these

books

and

its

a

nice

irony

to

see

a

tree

turned

into

paper

turned

into

a

book

and

that

book

turned

into

a

tree

again

You

will

need

between

pages

this

is

going

by

the

books

printed

page

numbers

Look

for

books

with

a

softglued

spine

rather

than

a

hard

spine

which

may

crack

I

found

that

classics

published

by

Penguin

are

excellent

for

this

project

because

the

spine

glue

is

bendy

and

the

paper

is

a

good

quality

for

folding

I

have

seen

some

versions

of

this

project

where

the

amount

of

pages

needed

is

cut

off

the

book

then

the

pages

are

folded

but

I

prefer

to

keep

the

book

whole

and

cut

the

folded

pages

off

after

I

have

enough

folded

pages

This

is

because

the

book

is

easier

to

handle

when

it

is

whole

plus

you

dont

want

to

fold

a

lot

of

pages

and

then

realise

you

havent

cut

off

enough

Also

having

the

height

of

the

whole

book

is

a

handy

space

to

push

the

folded

pages

into

when

you

get

a

bulk

of

folded

I

have

found

that

these

book

trees

take

twice

as

long

to

fold

during

the

second

half

because

the

amount

of

folded

pages

building

up

makes

progress

slower

and

it

takes

even

longer

if

you

stop

to

read

the

book

For

reference

heres

a

bit

about

the

trees

in

the

above

photo

Tree

on

the

right

The

finished

tree

has

folded

pages

and

has

a

light

application

of

gold

glitter

glue

painted

over

the

surface

which

unfortunately

hasnt

shown

up

in

the

photo

It

is

made

from

a

book

measuring

tall

The

pages

are

bulky

news

The

gsm

refers

to

the

rating

of

a

papers

density

It

is

an

acronym

for

grams

per

square

meter

As

a

reference

typical

standard

paper

used

in

photocopiers

and

printers

is

Some

books

will

state

the

gsm

rating

on

the

copyright

page

found

in

the

front

of

the

book

such

a

this

one

The

tree

on

the

left

This

is

made

from

a

book

measuring

tall

and

has

folded

pages

I

dont

know

what

the

gsm

rating

is

but

it

is

a

little

bit

thicker

than

Incidentally

it

was

called

Cooking

the

Books

by

Kerry

Greenwood

and

I

picked

up

little

cooking

tips

by

reading

bits

on

the

way

such

as

for

a

Raspberry

Cream

Roulade

if

the

sponge

cake

is

too

cold

it

cracks

If

it

is

to

warm

it

cooks

the

filling

and

goes

soggy

plus

fabulous

words

such

as

sybaritic

Lemurian

and

Heliogabalus

I

would

have

had

this

book

tree

made

quicker

if

I

hadnt

stopped

to

read

sections

about

cooking

and

to

look

up

the

dictionary

so

often

The

tree

in

the

middle

This

book

is

tall

and

the

title

is

Oliver

Twist

by

Charles

Dickens

It

was

a

nice

paperback

to

work

with

published

by

Penguin

Classics

the

glue

on

the

spine

was

bendy

and

the

paper

was

great

for

folding

I

folded

pages

in

total

folding

pages

in

half

an

hour

plus

I

didnt

need

clips

to

hold

the

folded

pages

out

of

the

way

This

tree

has

a

slight

difference

in

the

folding

to

the

other

two

trees

in

the

photo

in

that

the

small

triangle

that

is

tucked

into

the

folded

pages

of

the

other

two

trees

is

left

poking

out

giving

the

underside

of

the

tree

a

pointed

edging

Because

it

doesnt

sit

flat

like

the

other

two

trees

this

one

needs

to

be

raised

up

on

something

tall

to

display

it

and

it

is

handy

that

the

folding

construction

of

this

tree

naturally

creates

a

flat

circular

base

further

underneath

the

bottom

of

the

tree

You

can

see

this

flat

base

Just

before

we

get

started

I

would

like

to

add

that

magazines

work

well

for

this

project

too

such

as

TV

Guides

Womans

Weeklys

and

National

Geographics

With

magazines

to

get

a

full

looking

tree

it

is

advisable

to

use

two

magazines

to

make

two

trees

then

glue

them

together

with

glue

tape

HOW

TO

MAKE

TREES

or

CHRISTMAS

TREES

FROM

PAPERBACK

BOOKS

First

tear

the

cover

off

a

paperback

book

Start

folding

the

pages

by

turning

the

right

hand

top

corner

of

the

page

down

to

the

spine

of

the

book

as

far

as

it

will

go

until

you

have

a

nice

sharp

fold

at

the

top

of

the

spine

where

the

page

is

attached

Fold

the

same

page

again

so

that

it

is

halved

and

the

right

hand

side

is

aligned

down

the

spine

TIP

The

tool

in

the

following

photo

is

used

in

pottery

but

it

had

a

nice

sharp

flat

edge

that

was

handy

when

you

have

a

number

of

folded

pages

built

up

in

the

top

corner

where

the

pages

are

attached

to

the

spine

The

sharp

tool

allows

you

to

get

into

the

tightly

folded

pages

at

the

top

and

press

the

folds

down

to

get

a

sharp

neat

fold

that

forms

the

top

of

the

tree

or

just

use

your

fingernail

There

will

be

a

small

triangle

poking

over

the

bottom

edge

of

the

book

Use

the

natural

sharp

edge

of

the

bottom

of

the

book

to

crease

a

line

across

it

as

in

the

following

photo

Fold

the

page

out

and

fold

up

the

small

triangle

at

the

bottom

of

the

page

along

the

crease

line

you

just

made

Fold

the

page

back

to

where

it

was

so

it

looks

like

this

when

completed

TIP

Later

on

as

the

folded

pages

become

more

plentiful

and

build

up

it

will

be

easier

to

tuck

this

small

triangle

between

the

folded

page

rather

than

folding

out

the

whole

page

to

do

so

Continue

folding

like

this

for

each

page

until

you

have

enough

folded

pages

for

a

tree

The

folding

gets

a

bit

difficult

as

the

volume

of

folded

pages

increases

TIP

Use

a

clothes

peg

or

bulldog

clip

to

hold

sections

of

pages

out

of

the

way

of

where

you

are

folding

Some

books

dont

need

this

as

the

folded

pages

naturally

keep

out

of

the

way

but

if

you

have

a

stubborn

set

of

pages

that

get

in

the

way

of

your

progress

you

may

need

several

clips

TIP

When

you

have

folded

quite

a

few

pages

place

the

book

on

something

higher

in

this

case

I

used

a

thick

dictionary

so

the

folded

pages

can

hang

over

the

edge

and

this

gives

more

room

to

work

The

spine

may

depending

on

the

quality

of

glue

and

paper

density

fold

back

in

a

nice

even

curl

as

you

keep

folding

pages

Each

book

is

different

but

this

was

a

particularly

nice

example

this

book

is

published

by

Penguin

Books

and

has

bendable

glue

on

the

spine

When

you

can

not

fold

any

more

pages

easily

or

you

feel

you

have

enough

folded

pages

to

form

a

tree

bend

the

spine

back

and

carefully

cut

down

the

spine

of

the

book

With

some

books

you

can

start

a

cut

then

tear

the

rest

of

the

spine

off

Be

extremely

careful

of

your

fingers

when

cutting

down

the

book

spine

as

it

can

be

quite

tight

to

get

the

knife

in

the

right

place

against

all

the

folded

pages

and

tricky

to

get

started

TIP

to

get

a

clean

cut

and

to

protect

your

last

folded

page

nearest

the

knife

blade

turn

a

couple

of

unfolded

pages

across

against

the

last

folded

page

and

cut

between

this

and

the

unfolded

pages

You

tear

these

few

pages

off

when

your

cut

is

complete

Your

tree

should

stand

up

on

its

own

in

a

conical

tree

shape

You

shouldnt

need

to

glue

the

first

folded

page

and

the

last

one

together

but

you

can

play

with

the

top

of

the

tree

and

twist

it

slightly

or

glue

it

and

mold

it

until

it

sits

how

you

want

it

to

The

top

The

base

I

have

made

plain

trees

just

to

show

the

standard

folding

structure

but

you

can

embellish

them

with

coloured

dyes

paints

glitter

add

ribbons

or

rub

some

gliding

wax

down

the

folded

edges

or

whatever

you

like

I

added

an

origami

star

to

the

top

of

mine

The

star

is

stuck

to

a

long

skewer

that

is

inserted

down

through

the

top

of

the

tree

or

use

a

toothpick

To

make

origami

stars

please

TO

MAKE

A

BOOK

TREE

WITH

POINTS

UNDERNEATH

This

is

the

tree

in

the

middle

of

the

photo

at

the

top

of

the

page

As

a

variation

on

the

theme

try

making

a

tree

without

folding

the

extra

small

triangle

shaped

piece

back

into

the

book

Let

the

triangle

hang

below

the

page

line

and

it

will

create

a

tree

like

this

The

structure

underneath

the

tree

TO

MAKE

A

BOOK

TREE

WITH

A

SLANTED

EDGE

Another

variation

of

fold

gives

a

slanted

effect

to

the

edge

of

the

tree

instead

of

a

pointed

edge

To

do

this

fold

the

pages

as

per

normal

to

make

a

tree

as

in

the

photo

at

the

top

of

the

page

but

make

one

extra

fold

to

turn

the

pointed

corner

in

towards

the

book

Have

fun

and

happy

treemaking

Machiavellis The Prince On Virtue vs Fortune Part I klarmanite January 4 2015 Machiavelli Please note that for the purposes of this analysis I use the Harvey C Mansfield Second Edition translation of Machiavellis The Prince The Prince Italian Il Principe is a 16 th century political treatise by the Italian diplomat and political theorist Niccolò Machiavelli The work is said to be one of the first works of modern philosophy especially modern political philosophy It is also one of the most controversial and often misinterpreted philosophical works Personally I find Machiavelli to be an incredibly intelligent writer and a master of satire The Prince is about how a prince ought to be and act in order to maintain and enhance his principality Similarly for the investor one ought to be focused on maintaining and enhancing ones success for the long run In Machiavellis analysis he delineates those princes who have come to power by their virtue or by fortune By virtue Italian virtu Machiavelli refers the skill and temperament of the prince rather than his or her moral qualities which is not to say that these are not important even for Machiavelli but this is a complicated issue for another time Fortune Italian fortuna is more or less similar to our modern conception it is essentially what we would think of as the role of luck in particular that it acts as a double edged sword Machiavelli writes that in new principalities where there is a new prince one encounters more of less difficulty in maintaining them according to whether the one who acquires them is more or less virtuous And because the result of becoming a prince from private individual presupposes either virtue or fortune it appears that one or the others of these two things relieves in part many difficulties nonetheless ho who has relied less on fortune has maintained himself more Chapter VI The analogy to the investor is an apparent one of those who have had success investors who have had success as a result of their virtue be it some combination of skill and temperament will find that it is easier to maintain their success than those who were fortunate ie lucky or that their success was a result of their connections and not their virtue While this distinction is quite obvious as a matter of fact in reality it is not as easy to distinguish those investors who were simply lucky or well connected especially in bull markets Moreover it Machiavelli writes of fortune I judge that fortune is arbiter of half of our actions but also that she leaves the other half or close to it for us to govern Ch XXV For rather unclear reasons Machiavelli asserts that fortune accounts for half of our actions The accuracy of the specific portion that fortune has is a relatively insignificant value for the purposes of this analysis but the important takeaway is that he acknowledges the role of luck in our actions even for the virtuous price or in our case investor for what makes a prince or investor so virtuous is how he approaches and handles fortune The reason that the prince or investor who relies on fortune alone is often undone is because Machiavelli recons fortune to be one of those violent rivers which when they become enraged flood the plains ruin the trees and the buildings lift earth from this part drop in another each person flees before them everyone yields to their impetus without being able to hinder them in any regard Ch XXV The metaphor is a rather apt one for in this way Machiavelli highlights the unpredictable destructive inconsiderate and the indiscriminatory nature of fortune That is to say fortune acts according to its own will as destructive or constructive as it pleases and without regard to any particular individuals wishes or control When fortune strikes for the worse everyone panics and is rendered defenseless against it Machiavelli believes this is true for the most part but less true for the truly virtuous princes He writes although they fortune are like this it is not as if men when times are quiet could not provide for themselves dikes and dams so that when they rise later either they go by canal or their impetus is neither so wanton nor so damaging Ch XXV Machiavellis reasoning here implies that the prudent investor must when times are good still be conservative in his analysis and in his actions so that when fortune does strike he finds himself to be either safe at best or still significantly better defended than his peers at worst In Chapter XXIV titled Why the Princes of Italy Have Lost Their States Machiavelli was remarkably perceptive to state For men are much more taken by present things than by past ones and when they find good in the present they enjoy it and do not seek elsewhere Ch XXIV Machiavelli points out that people forget the cyclical nature of things especially so when times are good that is when they give in to their irrational parts and let their guard down Moreover Machiavellis description of fortune implies that it has a more active role in delineating the virtuous from those who are not as he writes It happens similarly with fortune which demonstrates her power were virtue has not been put in order to resist her and therefore turns her impetus where she knows that dams and dikes have not been made to contain her Ch XXV I do not pretend to know that this active manner is the case in reality but the importance is that Machiavelli places the impetus on the prince rather than fortune It is not enough for the prince to simply ignore fortune in order to maintain his power fortune has a way in acting against the prince if he is not constantly creating defenses for himself So too the investor must understand that even if his is actions are prudent there are still risks outside of his actions and ability to comprehend that can undermine him if he is not prepared Machiavelli then states that the prince who leans entirely on his fortune comes to ruin as it varies Chapter XXV Machiavelli elaborates on why certain princes fail and others succeed he is happy who adapts his mode of proceeding to the qualities of the times and similarly he is unhappy whose procedure is in disaccord with the times Ch XXV I believe there are multiple ways to interpret this First from the perspective of the modern day investors I do not believe that this means that one ought to abandon their investment principles as due to the whims of the market What I believe he means is that one set of static principles may work when the times are favorable to that set of principles but that if one does not adapt as the market adapts one will come to ruin Machiavelli confirms this stating for if one governs himself with caution and patience and the times and affairs turn in such a way that his government is good he is happy but if the times and affairs change he is ruined because he does not change his mode of proceeding Ch XXV Again this does not mean that one abandon their core investing principles as the favor of the month changes I believe what it implies is that the prudent investor must act and react to his times If the markets are frothy the investor ought to proceed with extra caution as to build dikes and dams But then the market is depressed the valueconscience investor ought to be assertive in purchasing those securities that he deems sufficiently undervalued which is an act of contrarianism Therefore being a permanent bear while likely safer than being a permanent bull is not as good Machiavelli concludes with the notion that a prince ought not to just defend against fortune but that he should seek to command fortune I believe this is akin although not perfectly to using fortune to capitalize on the mistakes of others and it is a point that I believe he would assert makes a prince great Rather infamously Machiavelli writes that I conclude thus that when fortune varies and men remain obstinate in their modes men are happy while they are in accord and when they come into disaccord unhappy I judge this indeed that it is better to be impetuous than cautious because fortune is a woman and it is necessary if one wants to hold her down to beat her and strike her down And one sees that she lets herself be won more by the impetuous than by those who proceed coldly And so always like a woman she is the friend of the young because they are Ch XXV Machiavelli presents his readers with a rather vivid and shocking metaphor in which he conveys that the truly great prince ought not to ignore fortune nor just defend against it rather the great prince actively tries to command fortune to his benefit The manner by which one achieves this according to Machiavelli doesnt not seem to be in accord with the principles of a prudent investor namely to act with impetuous ferocity and audacity over reason and caution This is by and large correct However one must understand the differences between Machiavellis time and that of our own to understand Discourses on Livy First Book Preface thus to act with impetuous and audacity is as I argue Machiavellis call for contrarian action Our times are different more market participants or speculators to be quite frank act first then think later if they think at all Impetuousness is too commonplace nowadays and is therefore associated with herd mentality and foolhardiness but in Machiavellis time to be audacious was an act of defiance of the state of things Thus properly interpreted Machiavelli asserts that great princes in order to be great must be contrarians for they institute new modes and orders If a great prince was anything but a contrarian he would be just like any other prince but this is not possible for greatness is restricted for only a few Greatness is therefore constricted to the few that go above and beyond that of others which necessarily means that one can not go above and beyond others without doing something different This principle can be seen to be in accord with modern investing principles Contrarianism is a as one examines their actions and lives one does not see that they had anything else from fortune other than the opportunity without that opportunity their virtue of spirit would have been in vain and without that virtue the opportunity would have come in vain Ch VI Machiavelli acknowledges that the even the most virtuous princes can not completely rid themselves of fortune but they are of such a sort that fortune only acts in their favor Fortune no longer acts as destructive but represents opportunity for the virtuous prince and prudent investor Machiavelli makes this very point explicit elsewhere A wise prince should observe such modes and never remain idle in peaceful times but with his industry make capital of them in order to be able to profit form them in adversities so that when fortune changes it will find him ready to resist them Ch XIV The virtuous and prudent investor does the same He is fearful when others are greedy and greedy when others are cautious His prudence tells him to hold cash when there are no compelling investment opportunities while his virtue makes him diligent in continuing his research so that he will be ready with the winds of fortune change The contra example of the virtuous prince is the princes of Machiavellis time Appositely they are discussed in the chapter titled Why the Princes of Italy Have Lost Their States Ch XXIV To this question Machiavelli asserts that the princes of Italy certainly lack prudence to understand how fortune varies while lacking virtue as they place their fate in the goodwill of others Machiavelli writes Therefore these princes of ours who have been in their principalities for many years may not accuse fortune when they have lost them afterwards but their own indolence for never having thought that quiet times could change which is a common defect of men not to take account of the storm during the calm when later the time become adverse they thought of fleeing and not defending themselves And they hoped that their peoples disgusted with the insolence of the victors would call them back This course is good when others are lacking but it is indeed bad to have Ch XXIV Here Machiavelli diagnoses the anatomy of the imprudent individual which includes all of the speculative individuals The prudent individual whether they be a prince or an investor realizes that fortune is fickle and that the surest defense one has is oneself Therefore the virtuous prince maintains himself far easier than the prince who relies on the goodwill of fortune Machiavelli affirms this saying Such opportunities therefore made these men happy and their excellent virtue enabled the opportunity to be recognized hence their fatherlands were ennobled by it and became very happy Those like these men who become princes by the paths of virtue acquire with difficulty but hold it with ease Ch VI Becoming a virtuous prince is not easy nor is it easy to become a successful investor Successful investing requires discipline patience and good judgment Acts that make princes and investors virtuous require as was stated before one to act differently from that of the herd in order to go above and beyond that of the herd Greatness and success requires as Machiavelli calls it new modes and orders But those capable of possessing and acting according to this set of principles will have a higher likelihood of long term success according to Machiavelli In summary it is better to be Fortune Prudence Speculation Virtue Machiavellis The Prince On Virtue vs Fortune Part II

Jesus LifeChanging Relationship with Simon Peter by Chris Pain Chris Pain June 2007 The transformation of Simon a Galilean fisherman to Peter leader of a religious movement prepared to challenge and defy the Jewish and Roman authorities is a story of enduring power and has provided hope and inspiration for Christians throughout the ages In this article we can only highlight some key moments in the relationship between Jesus and Simon Peter that caused this transformation A Call To Follow Jesus Mark and Matthews description of the call of Peter and Andrew is brief Jesus sees them calls them and they obey The gospel writers clearly intend to portray Jesus authority as the one who calls and the appropriate response to this call For our purposes it is the content of the call that is important it is first and foremost a call to follow Jesus to be in relationship with him This is the foundation of all the other aspects of the relationship that we will explore In fact the call to follow Jesus is so important that Jesus last Jesus seeks a relationship with Peter but its particular shape is inevitably defined by the fact that Jesus is the Master Peter the disciple Jesus prophetically calls Peter to a new way of life and living as a fisher of men It is significant that Jesus tells Peter of his new role so early in their masterdisciple relationship He wants Peter to be clear about the nature of their relationship and the goal towards which they are aiming To this end Jesus renames Simon He knew that Simon was not yet the rock petros but needed to be shaped and trained into that character and role A key purpose therefore for Jesus in his relationship with Peter is to accomplish this training so that Peter becomes the rock able to fulfil his calling as a fisher of men Given that Jesus gives Peter a unique role we might also expect to see him giving particular attention to Peter and his development as a disciple and there are hints of this in the gospel accounts Peter is one of the inner circle with James and John They are singled out to spend extra time with Jesus and are given the privilege of seeing the raising of the Synagogue Rulers daughter from the dead witnessing the Transfiguration and keeping watch with Jesus in Gethsemane They receive teaching along with Andrew about the end of the age Peter also has a Peters Confession And Jesus Rebuke A crucial moment in the relationship between Jesus and Peter is Peters confession Luke often shows Jesus in prayer at key points including prior to Peters confession The implication is that Jesus prayers are answered in some way by it Jesus has prayed to the Father who has given Peter insight to understand that Jesus is the Messiah The confession that Peter makes as spokesman for the disciples is a significant one As a result Jesus appoints Peter to a key role in the Kingdom of Heaven Jesus reaffirms Peter as the rock because he understands who Jesus is it is the quality of his relationship with Jesus based on the knowledge revealed to him that makes him suitable for this role However when Peter presumes to take Jesus to one side and rebuke him for talking of dying Jesus response is sharp and immediate Get behind me Satan The strength of this response is shocking how should it be explained One possible explanation is that Jesus is himself struggling with this aspect of his vocation as we see clearly in Gethsemane and needs to be decisive in resisting the temptation that Peter offers just as he was when directly tempted by Satan A further explanation is that Jesus knows Peters need to accept Jesus words and authority if he is to become the rock and fisher of men that he should Peter unwittingly stands in opposition to the central act of Jesus vocation from the Father and needs to understand the peril of doing so Any lesser or gentler rebuke Peters strength of character also requires a sustained moulding process Whilst we are not told why Peter is so opposed to the idea of Jesus dying it seems likely that he is expecting Jesus to be some kind of political Messiah and that Jesus exaltation to the throne of Israel will also mean glory for Peter reinforcing the need for Jesus strong correction We can also see the extent of the change that takes place in Peter for he eventually submits to Jesus will and no longer seeks his own glory 1 Walking On Water Peters strength of character was also an asset and on another occasion we see Jesus seeking to channel it towards a deeper faith In this incident recorded by Matthew Peter and the other disciples have spent a busy period of ministry with Jesus They have tried to take rest together in a solitary place but the crowds have continued to pursue them Jesus then involves the disciples in an amazing miracle when he feeds over 5000 people before dismissing them to cross the lake in a boat The disciples have encountered a storm and have been battling the weather for many hours When Jesus approaches them it is between 3 am and 6 am They must have been physically exhausted not only from their ministry but also from their fight with the storm They possibly feel abandoned by Jesus However their principal emotion when they see what they believe to be a ghost approaching is fear In Peter this emotion is quickly reversed when he sees that it is Jesus His instinct is to get to where Jesus is Whilst we might consider that his behaviour is Peters question Lord if its you tell me to come to you on the water assumes that it is Jesus and should be read as a statement of faith rather than an identity check 2 Jesus response of Come is entirely consistent with his initial call for Peter to follow him Peter inconsistent with this calling at other moments wants to obey now in this unusual situation This gettingoutoftheboat faith that he displays is precisely the kind he will need later on and Jesus response to Peters subsequent failure is not to condemn his initial faith but the inconsistency and doublemindedness that he displays in sustaining it 3 Jesus wants more of this kind of faith from Peter Peters Denial And Restoration Whilst all of Jesus interactions with Peter can be understood as being loving and motivated by Peters best interests a few insights noted by the gospel writers show us the depth of his concern Jesus prediction of Peters denial is one example of this At the time it was given it clearly dispirited and concerned Peter and the other disciples In retrospect however Peter would have been reassured that although Jesus knew in advance of his betrayal it did not disqualify him from a relationship with Jesus or a position as his disciple Lukes account gives us particular insight Jesus begins his prediction with the words Simon Simon The repetition demonstrates a sense of grief of kindness and of love Luke uses it to highlight moments of particular emotion that Jesus experiences Here Jesus is particularly moved by the trial that he knows Peter will undergo and his use of Simon rather than Peter underlines this All of Simons progress towards becoming Peter will be knocked back in this one incident Although Satan has asked to sift all the disciples the Greek you is plural Jesus has prayed for Simon especially that his faith will not fail Jesus is concerned to guard his relationship with Peter which at the moment of his testing and in the future will be based upon faith We have already noted Lukes theme of demonstrating the nature and effectiveness of Jesus prayer life as a major source of blessing to his disciples Luke is clear Peter will survive the ordeal because Jesus has prayed for him It displays one of the ways in which his relationship Jesus concern and love for Peter is also shown in his postresurrection conversation in John 21 He takes the time aside although possibly not out of earshot of the other disciples to reinstate Peter and demonstrate his forgiveness Although Peter is hurt by Jesus third repetition of his question Do you love me Jesus is gently forcing a threefold declaration of his love that mirrors his threefold denial Furthermore the repetition requires Peter to declare Lord you know all things and throw himself in reliance back on Jesus Rather than the previous episodes where Peter has demonstrated a penchant for extravagant claims of loyalty here he keeps the declaration simple and appeals to Jesus to weigh his words There has been progress in Peters relationship with Jesus as Peter responds in a more appropriate manner than he has on previous occasions Thus even in this brief overview we can see how his relationship with Jesus brought about a dramatic change in Simon Peter If you would like to learn more about Peters relationship with Jesus and other lessons
