God works through all types of people to fulfill different parts of his plan. In the disciples we see a broad range of characters; from the reflective John to passionate Peter; an impulsive pro-active servant of Jesus our Lord & Master. Committed “boots & all” would describe Peter, and while so often berated for his failures, Peter always demonstrated that he was very much God’s person. While Peter grows to be a significant leader for the Gospel message, like us, he needed to be moulded to do God’s work.
Peter finds his Messiah - John 1 / Walks on water towards Jesus - Matt 14 / Confesses his faith of Christ - Matt 16 / Peter called Satan by Jesus - Matt 16 / After Jesus is arrested Peter denies Jesus 3 times - Matt 26 / Is re-instated by Jesus - John 21 / Peter after Jesus - Acts 1-12 |
