| Summary | Peter's distinctive contribution to the history of redemption is being the greatest example in the Bible about progressive sanctification. In the introduction lesson, Ed encapsulates this progressive change in the Gospels as "The end of Peter", in Acts as "The beginning of Christ in Peter", and in the Epistles as "Manifesting Christ". In Luke 5 the Lord Jesus used failure in reality #1 (human reason and wisdom) to introduce him to reality #2--the spiritual reality of catching men alive. The very way that Jesus Christ changed Peter is the very way He'll change us! |
