That You May Believe | The Gospel of John || Peter experienced his greatest moment of shame in John chapter 18 when he denied Jesus. Jesus knew this, and he goes so far as to re-create that scenario in a new light. The point is not to shame Peter—in fact, it’s exactly the opposite. Peter’s shame wasn’t the only moment Jesus re-created; he also re-created perhaps the greatest moment of Peter’s life. John 21 demonstrates that Jesus is far from done with Peter, no matter his shame and failure.
