A Life Changing Meal

John 21.1-19

“Jesus then took the bread and gave it to them. He did the same with the fish. This was now the third time Jesus had shown himself alive to the disciples…”

John 21.14 (MSG)

Introduction

How do you deal with stress in your life?

The first disciples were dealing with confusion and stress in John 21.

Peter did what so many do, when they are tired, stressed, confused, and disoriented, he went back to his old way of life.

It is in this seemingly unlikely place that the disciples, and Peter have an encounter with the risen Christ.

Peter was living with the guilt and shame of his past deeds.

Those who have failed greatly can move TOWARD Jesus and experience something other than failure, they can experience RESTORATION!

In the presence of the risen Christ, Peter, by the healing, restoring Grace of Jesus is made whole again.

Conclusion

What in your past is keeping you from experiencing the restoration offered you by the risen Christ?
