Much is written about this man Peter, the "rock of the church," and I'm glad for it. Our family and staff team are studying 1 Peter collectively which has allowed me to take a closer look at who he was before during and after Jesus.
The thing about Jesus that gives me hope is that he saw through who Peter was at present to the man Peter would become. He says of Peter in Luke 22 that he will one day give his brothers great hope (which he does in writing the letter of hope - 1 Peter). The intriguing things is, Jesus makes this hopeful prediction just before Peter himself loses all hope in denying Jesus.
Essentially Jesus sees the process to the end product. In fact, He's committed to it. This is so critical for my own soul.
