This is What Grace Looks Like - Rev. Tom Are

Peter was following Jesus. That’s a good thing. From their first encounter, Jesus called Peter to follow. Yet, the text states that Peter follows “at a distance.” The distance shows up not in yards or miles on the ground, but in the kind of distance measured in the human heart. From that distance, fear is real, and denial is possible. Our scripture reading is Luke 22:31-33, 54-62.
