"Jesus Christ loved me and gave himself for me" is the simple truth of the gospel. It is so simple, in fact, that when we first (and often again and again) encounter it we are (as Luther famously said), "like a cow staring at a new gate." It seems so simple that we think we get it. But in this passage, the Apostle Peter reveals that even he often doesn't get it, as he needed Paul to remind him of it! In this confrontation between spiritual heavy weights, we learn that the gospel is a profound truth that transforms every aspect of life. We also learn how to have that truth change us.
