This Sunday, I am going to continue the Easter narrative by looking at the forgiveness and reinstating of Peter in John 21:15-25.  Jesus takes great pains to restore Peter after his previous betrayals. He does this by offering Peter space to truly repent and receive grace and by affirming Peter’s call to being a disciple and leader of God’s people.  My hope is that this message will instruct us on how to be healed by Jesus as we suffer from the regret and shame of past mistakes that keep us from being who we are called to be in Christ.
