People Are Restored

John 21

In giving Peter the opportunity to confess his love three times, Jesus demonstrated His forgiveness and desire to restore fellowship with His own.

During Jesus's trail, Peter denied knowing Him three times. After Jesus was resurrected, He gave Peter the opportunity to declare his love of Him three times, confirming to the disciple that their relationship had been restored. Through His life, death, and resurrection, Jesus restores the relationship between God and all who believe in Him.

Because Christ has restored our relationship with God, we seek to live as God's agents of reconciliation, pointing others to how they too can be made right with God through Jesus.
