  • Luke 22:54-62
    In Peter’s story of denial, we see a few themes:
    Peter’s pride and confidence in himself often led to rash decisions
    His proximity to Jesus was key - when he “stayed at a distance” or “looked at the wind and waves,” we see Peter struggle to follow Jesus
    In his fear and shame, Peter grew more aggressive
    But Jesus did not condemn his friend:
    Jesus looked upon Peter with love (v 61)
    Jesus’ eyes and words provided conviction but not condemnation
    Peter wept and grieved over his denial - the beginning of repentance
    Ultimately, Jesus restores and commissions Peter around a similar, charcoal fire (Jn 21)
