Have you ever done something you swore you'd never do? So did apostle Peter. It's not hard to imagine the shame he must have felt and the the utter certainty that he was a failure of a human being. But when he encounters the risen Christ, after denying his Lord three times and crumbling under pressure, what does he do? He dives right into the sea and swims headlong right into Jesus' arms. Jesus calls Peter to Himself, despite Peters utter failure, despite the betrayal and despite his self loathing and shame. Peter had spent years with Jesus, following Him, learning about Him and watching how He treated those around Him. Peter knew that he would be accepted and loved and forgiven. Peters actions prove that Jesus was a sure and steady anchor and we can rest in the knowledge that no matter what we have done, Jesus stands ready to forgive and redeem us too.
