“God has delivered me from going down to the pit,
and I shall live to enjoy the light of life.”
Job 33:28
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 he was restored!
The depth of Jesus’ covenant love is not exhausted when we sin.
There is forgiveness and restoration.
Have you denied Jesus lately in favor of your selfish pleasures?
Peter felt remorse and guilt over his denial of Jesus…do you?
If so, then don’t you think it is time for your restoration?
Read the account of restoration in John 21:4-19.
Rejoice over God’s plan of restoration in your life.
