Redeemed and Reinstated

(This Jesus said to show by what kind of death Peter was to glorify God.) And after saying this he said to him, “Follow me.”

John 21:19

It is heart-wrenching to think about Peter’s denial. What he must have felt following the roster’s crowing; especially when he had been warned.

Now is the awkward moment. Jesus is alive and it’s time to address that incident.

How would Jesus do it? What would He say? What would Peter’s future with Him be like?

It’s not all rosy, but it ends with Jesus’ grace and mercy!

Man Overboard!

Now none of the disciples dared ask him, “Who are you?” They knew it was the Lord.

John 21:12bc

When Peter heard that it was Jesus on the shore, he jumped in the water.

But why? Was it because he couldn’t wait to go see Him and apologize to Him for his denial or because He couldn’t bear the thought of facing Him due to it?

The good news is that Peter made it to the shore – to Jesus!

Jump, but don’t swim away. Find your way to His merciful arms!
