A Petrine Tactic

It is a Petrine tactic:
To strike at ears
In bold bursts of passion
And conjured tears,
Only to be quick followed
By brazen perjury.
It is the sudden revelation
Of a heart’s larceny.

It is a Petrine tactic:
In silent submission,
Imitating Christ
On the eve of His passion,
To suffer the wrongs
Of unjust oppression.
It is the humble, arduously learned lesson
Of loving Him more than these.

Jn 21:15,18; 1Pet 2:19-25;1Pet 3:13-4:2
