1 Peter 3:13?15 (NAS): 13 Who is there to harm you if you prove zealous for what is good?
 14 But even if you should suffer for the sake of righteousness, you are blessed. And do not fear their intimidation, and do not be troubled,
 15 but sanctify Christ as Lord in your hearts, always being ready to make a defense to everyone who asks you to give an account for the hope that is in you, yet with gentleness and reverence;

This is the same Peter who lied to a young girl out of fear.  After seeing the risen Christ, Peter had no doubt who he believed.  We have not touched His side.  We have not seen His face.  We can have greater than Peter.  I want to know Him and the POWER of His resurrection.  Lord Jesus, thank you for the great faith you give us.  Give us more Lord!  Embolden is to share the Good News.
