Jesus said to Peter, "Simon, Satan desires to have you that he may sift you like wheat". We are seen as booty to Satan, that subtle serpent, and need to be aware of the path and warnings that led to the fall. Jesus rescues and restores Peter after his failure. God comes to each of us in a state needing rescue. Genesis 1, Ezekiel 28, Isaiah 14. VF-0942 © Copyright 1995
