Peter has gone from being a disciple who needed to be discipled to becoming our teacher, our

inspired teacher, telling us to shepherd the flock of God because, though you have not

seen Him, you what love Him.

How do you help someone you love serve the Lord more effectively?

The best place to look is the example of Christ Himself, how did He lead and teach His disciples?

Consider that today on Grace to you as John MacArthur looks at the transforming effect

of loving Christ.

It's part of his series Lessons for a Modern Day Disciple.

But before we get to this look at the transforming effect of loving the Lord Jesus Christ, we

receive a couple of letters from listeners who have experienced the transforming effects

of studying the Word of God, verse by verse.

So John, these are brief letters, but the stories are very encouraging.

So take a few minutes here and share these with our listeners.

Yeah, thanks Phil.

First letter comes from Michael and he says, thanks to you, I am recovering from a life

in works religion.

I've been listening to your Grace stream for about five years now and it has completely

changed my life.

Your teaching has opened my eyes to so many things.

I never knew how blind I actually was.

I'm forever grateful for your clear interpretation of God's Word.

Pastor John, thank you and may God continue to bless you tremendously.
