Simon Peter

Simon Peter, a loyal and devoted follower of Jesus, was still fearful and weak when he denied knowing Jesus. He didn’t do this once but three times. Before the denial, Jesus told him that the closest to Jesus would abandon him. Peter said that would never be the case for him. In Mark 14:31, Peter said, “If I must die alongside you, I won’t deny you.” Even while his loyalty was rooted in Jesus, he still failed Him. While Peter turned his back on the Lord, God ultimately forgave Peter. He was able to reaffirm his faith. In the end, Peter repented and shared the gospel of Jesus Christ until the end of his life.
