The Friend Who Forgives: A True Story About How Peter Failed and Jesus Forgave
Beautifully illustrated and heartwarming, The Friend Who Forgives tells the powerful story of Peter, one of Jesus' closest friends, who failed Him but was forgiven.
Children will relate to Peter, who often spoke before thinking, messed up, and let others down—culminating in his denial of Jesus. This left Peter heartbroken when Jesus was crucified, thinking he had lost his best friend forever.
But Jesus is different from any other friend. After His resurrection, Jesus sought out Peter and forgave him, showing that His love and forgiveness know no bounds. Jesus died to take the punishment for all our mistakes, and His resurrection proved that the penalty was lifted. Because of Jesus, Peter—and all of us—can experience true forgiveness, again and again.
This beautifully illustrated story helps children understand the concept of forgiveness and reassures them that no matter how many times they fail, Jesus is the Friend who will always forgive them.
