Followers of Jesus love the apostle Peter. What’s interesting is the reason we love him. It’s not because of his courage in proclaiming the gospel like it is for, say, Paul. The reason Christians love Peter is because of his faults. Of course we know that all the disciples had them - frailties - but Peter’s are so prominent in the gospels. His foibles make us feel better about our own frailties. That’s not all we should do with Peter though. We mustn’t stop at viewing his life as an answer to the question, “Does God use imperfect people?” We need to take our consideration of Peter a step further. On the night before Jesus’ crucifixion, as Jesus predicted, Peter denies that he even knows Jesus. He blows it. The question is, what can we learn from his failure? How can we be better prepared the next time some person or some situation presents us with the question, “You aren’t one of Jesus’ disciples too, are you?”
