Re: Verse reading–John 21:1-25 (day one)
“We are all products of our past, but we don’t have to be prisoners of it.”–Rick Warren.
“A sunrise is God’s way of saying, ‘Let’s start again.’ “–Todd Stocker.
The Bible is a book about God. His character, nature and promises. It is also a book about people as they encounter God. People who trust and follow. People who (sometimes) make really foolish, really public mistakes. People who find unexpected mercy. Like Peter. Please read John 21 this week. Please watch with wonder the stubborn love that Jesus has for his friend, the divine determination that pursues and prods until Peter can process his failure and find forgiveness. And when you see Christ-with-Peter will you think Christ-with-yourself?
“My SIN, O the bliss of this glorious thought, MY sin, not in part, but the WHOLE, is nailed to the cross and I bear it no more. Praise the Lord, praise the Lord, O my soul!”–Horatio Spafford.
