Summer Playlist: Failure & Restoration: The Story of Peter

Too often, because of past or present failures we are weighed down by sin and shame, and we struggle to escape this spiritual guilt. The night Jesus was arrested, Peter moves from the bold claim that he was ready to die for Christ to a moment of failure and disgrace when he denies even knowing Jesus. But, it is in this story of Peter that we see how Jesus can turn a moment of colossal failure into ultimate restoration. Peter’s story reiterates this good news for every one of us who feel like we fail as disciples of Jesus.
