As we conclude our journey through the garden in John’s gospel, we come to this passage of Jesus asking Peter, three times, if he loves him. This is often thought to be a reinstatement since thrice Peter denied knowing Jesus. Some have looked at this and wondered why Jesus would so boldly confront Peter about his failure, seemingly rubbing his face in his failure. But could it be, as Pastor Evan puts forth today, that Jesus wanted Peter to learn, and by extension us as well, that there can be fruit to gained from revisiting our failures and learning lessons from those failures, so that we are then able to journey on a bit wiser than we were before?
