In a world that convinces us that we must make the most of our own stories, what do we do when our own failure rips away the ending we always wanted? Our world doesn’t have an answer for guilt or personal moral failures. There is no path to redemption. We live in a world of ruthlessly canceling others for their sins and failures, which also means we live with a lot of self-condemnation for our own failures. It’s an endless cycle of sin, guilt, shame, and ostracization. What can save us from this? Interactive life with Jesus. Peter’s greatest moral failure came in the time of Jesus’ greatest need, and Peter was convinced that life with God was over. Not only because of Jesus’ death, but because of his failure to be faithful to Jesus. Even after seeing Jesus’ resurrected, Peter returns to his old life of fishing. It’s not until an interaction with Jesus on a beach did Peter understands that there is no failure or sin too great that can kick you out of interactive life with God. There is always a road back.
