00:00What does it say?

00:04The resurrected Christ met with his disciples by the Sea of Galilee.

00:10What does it mean?

00:11The last two verses of the previous chapter appear to be the perfect ending to John's

00:16epistle.

00:18However, without chapter 21, we would lose three important lessons from the life of Peter.

00:24First, God seeks to restore his followers after a failure of faith.

00:29Next, God forgives his children and gives them responsibilities.

00:34Both of these principles are seen in how Jesus gently but firmly reinstated Peter, giving

00:40him work to do right away.

00:42Finally, God has a unique plan for each believer.

00:46When Peter questioned the future, Jesus turned his focus from other disciples to the task

00:52ahead.

00:52How should I respond?

00:55Is there a spiritual wipeout in your past?

00:57Most of us would have to say, yes.

01:01Past failure doesn't mean the Lord has given up on you.

01:04We serve a God who is always willing to give us another chance.

01:08We find forgiveness and restoration to serve the Lord when we genuinely and humbly repent

01:14of sinful thoughts, attitudes, and actions.

01:17Ask God what responsibility he has for you in your community and the local church.

01:23Which of his sheep or lambs has God given you to feed and tend?

01:29If he leads you down a difficult path, like Peter, stay focused on your task and accept the

01:35challenge.
