Do you wrestle with your past, worry about your future, and fail to enjoy your present? Along your journey of faith, has something sidelined you? Alistair Begg describes the personal and painful process of Peter’s forgiveness and restoration, which encourages us toward genuine repentance. Through real restoration—no matter how it hurts, no matter what it costs, and no matter what it means—God makes us useful and profitable in all aspects of life.
15When they had ufinished breakfast, Jesus said to Simon Peter, v“Simon, wson of John, xdo you love me more than these?” He said to him, “Yes, Lord; you know that I love you.” He said to him, “Feed ymy lambs.” 16He said to him a second time, “Simon, son of John, do you love me?” He said to him, “Yes, Lord; you know that I love you.” He said to him, z“Tend ymy sheep.” 17He said to him the third time, “Simon, son of John, do you love me?” Peter was grieved because he said to him athe third time, “Do you love me?” and he said to him, “Lord, byou know everything; you know that I love you.” Jesus said to him, “Feed cmy sheep. 18dTruly, truly, I say to you, when you were young, eyou used to dress yourself and walk wherever you wanted, but when you are old, you will stretch out your hands, and another will dress you and carry you where you do not want to go.” 19(This he said to show fby what kind of death he was to glorify God.) And after saying this he said to him, g“Follow me.”
