This encounter freed Peter from the shame of his three-time denial of Jesus the night Jesus was arrested, and fully restored him. Through this encounter we see that Jesus’ questions to us are never to gain information or condemn us but are invitations to reflect and respond honestly. opening the way for transformation.
