Lesson 8

Peter had made a HUGE mistake! He had ignored the warning signs and failed Jesus by denying Him three times. He felt like a loser, and rightly so. Jesus knew how Peter felt. He knew that Peter was sorry for his mistake. He showed up while Peter was fishing, and Peter did exactly what he needed to do. He went straight to Jesus and declared his love for Him. Jesus not only welcomed Peter back, but He gave Peter a chance to declare his love three times, the very number of times he had denied Jesus. In this lesson, the children will learn that when we make a mistake, there is only one thing to do: RUN to Jesus and receive His forgiveness!
