Summary
Where after Jesus has revealed himself, after the disciples have come to the understanding by God's grace that it's Jesus, the resurrected Christ, who is breaking the bread, then comes the response. When the women came back from the tomb saying that the tomb is empty, that Christ is risen, Peter runs to the tomb, Peter looks in and sees that the tomb is empty. Whatever happened in that one on one, it invoked that confidence and that faith in the resurrection of Christ, Peter writes in first Peter the first chapter, blessed be the God and the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, by His great mercy. The resurrected Christ appears to the disciples and the Lord turns to Peter in John 21 and he says, Peter, do you love me? This was Peter who had heard the testimony of the women had gone to the tomb and seen that it was empty who had experienced the one on one with the resurrected Christ who was in the room when the resurrected Christ came and appeared to the rest of disciples when Thomas was absent and showed them his hands in his side. This was Peter after experiencing all of that when he experiences the wait time of not seeing the Lord again says, I'm just going back and when Jesus comes to him says, do you agape me?
