Peter denied Jesus three times, then went right back to his old life as a fisherman. But Jesus didn’t leave him there. In this final message of our summer series through the book of John, we see Jesus meet Peter at his lowest point, on a beach, after a night of catching nothing, and offer him a grace that fully restores and recommissions him.
This message closes out “The Blessed Life,” our journey through the Gospel of John, with [Speaker Name] walking through John 21:1-17. We see three things: Jesus meets us in our exhaustion and shame rather than waiting for us to clean ourselves up first, His grace doesn’t sweep our failures under the rug but fully pardons them, and He recommissions us for His purposes even after our worst moments. Peter’s threefold restoration (“Do you love me? Feed my sheep”) becomes the same Peter who later preaches with boldness in Acts 2.
