The specific mention of Peter by the angel after Christ's resurrection underscores the depth of Christ’s grace and forgiveness.

This detail serves as a powerful reminder that no failure on our part can disqualify us from grace. It highlights the nature of Christ's redemptive work which assures all believers that their sins are forgiven, and they can always return to Him regardless of their past failures. It demonstrates that in the face of human weakness, Christ's love prevails, offering hope and restoration.
