How do we know Jesus restores those who fail?

Answered in 1 source

Jesus restores Peter after his denial through a personal encounter, asking him three times if he loves Him, symbolizing restoration and commissioning.

After Peter's denial, the resurrected Jesus meets Peter on the shores of the Sea of Galilee. He reinstates Peter by asking him three times if he loves Him, which parallels Peter's three denials, thus reaffirming Peter's commitment to Jesus. This encounter not only restores Peter but also commissions him to 'feed my sheep,' signifying that despite past failures, Jesus invites believers into a ministry of service and obedience. This highlights the central theme of restoration in the Gospel, where Christ's love and grace overshadow sin and failure, offering hope for spiritual renewal.
