"'Didn't I see you out there in the olive grove with Jesus?' Again Peter denied it. And immediately a rooster crowed." -John 21:15-19
We know what failure looks like. It's easy to relate to Peter's denial of Jesus. We've all failed. It seemed like a final failure, too--Jesus died without a chance for Peter to even ask for forgiveness. After the resurrection, Jesus invited Peter to breakfast. Peter might have expected to hear "I told you that you would fail." Instead, listen this morning to what Jesus really said.
