Peter: The Painful Path from Losing to Loving and Living for Jesus

The redemptive power of God is the only force in the universe that can transform your identity. Peter was reminded of this in his conversation with Jesus on the beach. Despite all his grandiose promises to follow Jesus and give his life for the mission, Peter fell short. But when Jesus presented him with this opportunity for redemption, he realized that he couldn't live up to that perfect image he had tried to create for himself. All he could offer was his imperfect love and commitment, trusting that Jesus could use him in greater ways by making him who God intended him to be.
