Come and Dine!
On the night of Jesus’ arrest-
Peter denied Jesus – three times!
In spite of his lack of loyalty-
Jesus extended an invitation of mercy to Peter and said:
“Come and dine!”
There on the shores of the Sea of Galilee after His resurrection-
Jesus came to Peter and prepared a table of restoration.
Can you imagine what was going through Peter’s mind?
Guilt and gladness, fear and fascination, wonder and worship-
– a kaleidoscope of emotions!
He could not believe that-
– he was being invited to the table of the One he had deserted just days before.
And not only was he being invited but restored!
The depth of Jesus’ covenant love is not exhausted when we sin.
There is forgiveness and restoration.
Peter is off the scene!
You are on the scene!!
Allow Him to transform your life.
And to use you for His glory from today on…
Read this account of restoration in John 21:4-19.
Rejoice over God’s plan of restoration in your life.
