As we reflect on Peter’s story, we see ourselves in his struggle. He promised loyalty to Jesus, only to fail when the pressure rose. That moment of brokenness—when the rooster crowed and Jesus looked at him—reminds us of the times we’ve denied or distanced ourselves from God. But what grips us isn’t Peter’s failure; it’s Jesus’s response. After the resurrection, instead of rebuke, Jesus made breakfast on the shore. With each “Do you love me?” came not condemnation, but restoration. That same love and calling is offered to us, no matter how many times we’ve fallen.

For us, repentance isn’t about wallowing in shame, but turning back to love. The Greek word "metánoia" points to a change of heart, a reorientation toward relationship, not self-punishment. Jesus’s kindness invites us out of regret and into renewed purpose. We’ve learned to “Look and Learn”—to bring our failures honestly before God, not to feel worse, but to experience restoration. Whatever burdens we carry, Jesus meets us like he met Peter—welcoming us back with compassion and reminding us we’re never too far gone.
