       Peter could have shut down his life because he had done that, because he had let Jesus down in these ways. But did he do that? No, of course he didn’t. He received Jesus’ forgiveness and went to start the first church, and really to be the leader of the church of all times. What if he would have caved to Satan’s condemnation? There wouldn’t have been a leader for the first church. All the times he witnessed Jesus’ name would have been lost. All his rewards stored up in Heaven for his ministering would have been forfeited. It wasn’t even Jesus’ will that Peter go to the cross with him. He never had to swear he’d die with him. Now, I don’t say that to excuse Peter’s sin, but simply to make the point that God wasn’t asking Peter to do what he thought he was. Peter often gets a bad wrap here, but that’s not the reality of it. So, let us take Peter’s positive example here and move on from sins and not wallow in the mud.
