How and Why Ever Would Jesus Forgive Peter?

We know the story. Peter screws up, denies Jesus three times in a row in a matter of hours on a single night. Peter repents. So why does Peter get away with it? How could Jesus trust Peter with His mission and life's work?
An inquiry into the Good News of radical forgiveness and why Christ is King.
