Remember Peter, the big fisherman? The faltering follower? The denying disciple? The impetuous apostle? The loving leader? The miraculous man of faith? The magnificent martyr?

Remember Peter, the big paradox? The humble human and the sanctified saint? The coward and the Christian? The backslider and the believer? Peter, in the flesh, had problems-big problems. But Peter, in the Spirit, had potential-real potential unleashed by the indwelling power of God.

Remember Peter, the big example of who we are and what we can become? God who accom-plished so much in Peter's life can do the same in ours. Peter's secret? Though not perfect, he was controlled by Christ alone.
