3 Day Devotional: And Peter - Day 3

Scripture:
But go, tell His disciples—and Peter—that He is going before you into Galilee; there you will see Him, as He said to you.— Mark 16:7 (NKJV)

Devotional Reflection:
Two words in this passage carry so much weight: “and Peter.” After denying Jesus, Peter could have assumed he was no longer included—that his failure had disqualified him. But heaven makes it clear—call his name. Make sure he knows he still belongs. That’s what grace does. It doesn’t ignore failure, but it refuses to let failure have the final word. And this isn’t just about Peter—it’s about anyone who has ever felt like they’ve messed up too badly to come back. The resurrection is not just proof that Jesus got up—it’s proof that grace still reaches, still restores, and still calls people by name.

Reflection Questions:
Have you ever felt like your past disqualified you from God’s grace?
What does it mean to you that God still calls your name?
Who in your life might need you to extend that same grace?

Prayer:
God, thank you that your grace reaches me, even when I fall short. Help me to receive your forgiveness and walk in it. Teach me to extend that same grace to others. Remind me that I still belong to you. Amen.
