The prevailing wisdom of our day tells us to look inward to find our true self. In the life of Peter, we see that it is Jesus who is the giver of identity. On his own, Peter flailed. He babbled. He lied. He postured. He sank. Jesus slowly watched Peter become the person he saw from the very beginning.
