We spend a lot of time in life trying to forget our worst moments, trying to outrun our mistakes. The past is just too painful to contemplate sometimes. But the the only way we’ll ever get to a place of healing is through facing the pain head-on. Peter was not looking forward to this conversation with Jesus, but Jesus loved him too much to let him off the hook. And even though reliving his worst moment hurt every bit as much as Peter had feared it would, it also opened the door to redemption. It gave him the chance to decide how he wanted to be remembered from that moment on.
