Plot TwistSample

Plot twists happen just about every day, don't they? You think everything is going well, but then you realize you left all your assignments at home. You attempt to make dinner, but the simple task of heating up ramen becomes a microwave disaster. Hey, mistakes happen. And they happen to all of us. In the days before and after Jesus' death and resurrection, there's a story about one of his friends who messed up in a big way. When Jesus was arrested, and on his way to being killed, Peter panicked. Instead of being there for Jesus, he denied he ever knew him. Three whole times. So when Jesus came back after his death, you can imagine Peter was probably feeling a little uncomfortable. But here's what's amazing. Jesus didn't yell at or shame Peter. Instead, he asked, "Hey Peter, do you love me?" And Peter said, "yes." Three whole times. Jesus didn't just forgive Peter — Jesus even proved he still trusted him by giving Peter a whole new assignment. Because when we mess up, Jesus gives us another chance.
