It is noteworthy, for our own sakes, that the consistent reason for Simon Peter’s denials was his willful oppostion to death on the cross for Christ’s self-revelation as “Son of the living God” (Matt. 16: 13-28); and, once and for all, infallible vision-borne proof of Jesus’ immortality (John 1: 47-51; 8: 21-28; 10: 17-18; 19: 30-37).

Peter required no less than 40 additional days of rehabilitation to change direction from the “easy” to the “hard” way to life (Matt. 7: 13-14; Acts 1: 1-5; 2).
