#76 - Joby Martin // The Pursuit of Peter
Manage episode 477326482 series 3625879
Jesus meets Peter exactly where he is after his betrayal, creating a powerful scene of restoration rather than rejection. Our failures never disqualify us from God's purposes and plans.
• Jesus actively pursues Peter who had returned to fishing after his denial
• The charcoal fire intentionally parallels the setting where Peter had previously denied Jesus
• Jesus asks Peter "Do you love me?" three times, giving him opportunity to affirm what he previously denied
• Instead of putting Peter on a "personal improvement plan," Jesus immediately reinstates him to leadership
• There is more grace in Jesus than sin in us - not permission to sin, but declaration of grace's power
• God often uses our greatest weaknesses as our greatest ministry strengths
• Peter's mouth - once the source of his denial - becomes the instrument God uses for the first Christian sermon
