This week (20 April) our sermon was from John 21:15-17
The conversation with Peter concludes the book of John. It comes after the resurrection, and as we noted, when Jesus encounters spiritual failure—
1-Jesus is Refocusing—we easily get preoccupied with other things
2-Jesus is Repairing.—he puts back together what has been torn
3-Jesus is Restoring-this is always his aim. He seeks to return us to our original condition
4-Jesus is Repurposing—he intends we become useable again for his kingdom
Discussion Points
- Are you allowing God to do his necessary, healing work?
- Can you remember a time God’s grace completely restored you?
- Why do you think the conversation goes in the direction it does in vv 18ff?
