The answer can be found in the famous story of Peter walking on water and then sinking in dramatic fashion. In fact, a connection can be seen between three essentials: rebuke, revelation, and redemption. But Peter’s faith was still lacking. And even before he denied Jesus three times, Peter was rebuked for his hubristic declarations of courage (Mt 26:33-35, 75). Loved perfectly, Peter was rebuked openly so he could walk without fear and witness without faltering.
