How Peter in the Bible recovered from failure // “Go tell the disciples AND Peter”

Peter in the Bible was part of Jesus’ inner circle and one of the
Bible’s most consequential figures. But Peter failed—big time.
Here’s how Jesus helped him recover and will do the same for us.


=====


“GO TELL THE DISCIPLES AND PETER”


When Jesus rose from the dead, an angel appeared with a message
to three of Jesus’ followers. He told them Jesus had risen from
the dead, then said:


“But go, tell his disciples AND PETER, ‘He is going ahead of you
into Galilee. There you will see him, just as he told you’ ”
[emphasis added].


Why would the angel say, “And Peter?” Peter was one of the
disciples, after all. But maybe Peter needed special attention
because he had failed by denying Jesus three times just a few
days earlier.


In this message from Pastor Nick Tallo, we learn from Peter’s
story that failure is not fatal or life-defining but that Jesus
can restore us when we humble ourselves and repent.


See Mark 16:6–7 and Luke 22:62.


1. GOD CALLED YOU IN SPITE OF YOUR FAILURES.


God knows everything, past and present. He knew Peter would fail,
yet Jesus made him a disciple anyway. God knows our failures and
has chosen to love and save us anyway. 


Max Lucado says it well: “You are never more saved or less saved
than the moment you were first saved.”


See 1 John 3:20.


2. GOD LOVES YOU IN SPITE OF YOUR FAILURES.


After Jesus rose from the dead, he visited his disciples several
times, showing them all (including Peter) that He still loved
them. No matter who we are or how we’ve failed, NOTHING can
separate us from God’s love!


See John 21: 1–14 and Romans 8:38–39.


3. GOD WANTS TO USE YOU IN SPITE OF YOUR FAILURES.


Peter had a chance to reconcile with Jesus, and at that moment,
Jesus called Peter to a life of service, saying, “Feed my sheep.”
We have the same opportunity to respond to God’s call to us, no
matter how we’ve failed in the past.


See John 21:15–17, Acts 2:41–47, Luke 22:62, 1 Peter 4:8, Romans
5:8, Acts 2:41–47, and Revelation 3:20.
