Encounters with Jesus — It’s Not How We Start but How We Finish that Matters • Peter at times demonstrated extraordinary faith in Jesus. [Matthew 14:22-32, 16:13-20] • Peter also was susceptible to the pitfalls of pride. [Matthew 16:21-23, John 18:1-11] • Peter eventually was publicly ashamed of Christ and failed his closest friend. [Matthew 26:69-75] • Peter ultimately was restored to Jesus and finished his race as a faithful servant of God. [John 21:15-19] As We Go … No matter how your journey of faith started or how far off track you may be, keep the faith, fight the good fight and finish well!
