We’ve all seen it; that look that couldn’t be ignored…

It may have come from your parent; a strict teacher or a law officer. You were reprimanded without a word. You were caught and in deep trouble.

Hopefully, you’ve seen looks of unconditional love.

Those looks come from parents, grandparents, siblings, sweethearts, children, grandchildren and close friends. Looks of love lift our spirits. ‘I love you.’ We don’t need to be lip readers; instead we read people’s eyes.

Jesus’ look of hurt and disappointment broke the heart of Apostle Peter.

“Then a servant girl, seeing him as he sat in the light and looking closely at him, said, ‘This man also was with him.’ But he denied it, saying, ‘Woman, I do not know him.’ And a little later someone else saw him and said, ‘You also are one of them.’ But Peter said, ‘Man, I am not.’ And after an interval of about an hour still another insisted, saying, ‘Certainly this man also was with him, for he too is a Galilean.’ But Peter said, ‘Man, I do not know what you are talking about.’ And immediately, while he was still speaking, the rooster crowed. And the Lord turned and looked at Peter. And Peter remembered the saying of the Lord, how he had said to him, ‘Before the rooster crows today, you will deny me three times.’ And he went out and wept bitterly (Luke 22:56-62 ESV).”
