🛑 Let's just run through Peter's resume real quick 🛑

• ✔︎ He sank while walking on water.

• ✔︎ He tried to talk Jesus out of the cross.

• ✔︎ Jesus literally called him Satan. Out loud. In front of everyone.

• ✔︎ He fell asleep in the garden when Jesus asked him to pray.

• ✔︎ He cut off a man's ear, and Jesus had to fix it.

• ✔︎ He swore three times, with cursing, that he didn't even know the man.

And after the resurrection? He didn't go pray. He didn't go preach.

He went fishing. 🎣

❌ He quit ❌

And Jesus, fresh out of a tomb, walked down to a beach, built a charcoal fire, and made the man who failed Him breakfast.

No lecture. No "we need to talk." No probationary period.

Just bread. Fish. And a fire.

Then He asked Peter one question. Three times, once for every denial:

"Do you love me?"

Not "are you sorry?" Not "have you learned your lesson?" Not "do you understand what you did?"

Do. You. Love. Me.

And then: "Feed my sheep. Tend my lambs. Follow me."

Fifty days later, that same fisherman, the denier, the quitter, the man who cursed Jesus to save his own skin — stood up in Jerusalem and preached the resurrection.

Three thousand people gave their lives to Jesus.

In one day.

From one sermon.

From the most disqualified man in the room.

Here's what I keep coming back to:

Jesus is not building His Kingdom with the most impressive people.

He's building it with the most available ones.

The ones who keep showing up.

The ones who fail and come back to the beach anyway.

❓What's the failure you've been letting keep you on the sideline❓
