The Rest of the Story: The Charcoal Fire

Peter, a close companion and follower of Jesus, was tested and denied even knowing Jesus when he came under the pressure of Jesus' arrest and crucifixion. In our culture, when Christians fail (especially Christian leaders) we cancel them. Jesus did the opposite; he received Peter's confession and repentance, forgave him, and fully restored him to leadership. Peter is the rock on which the Christian church is built.
