The Call to Redemption

Road to Redemption | The Call to Redemption | April 9, 2023 Sermon

In John 21:15-19, Jesus reinstates Peter to the ministry of God by reversing his previous denial of knowing Jesus three times by asking him three times, "Simon, son of John, do you love me?" Jesus now offers both encouragement and a dire prediction. Peter is once again called to follow Jesus. However, Jesus notes that one day Peter will be forcibly "led," with outstretched arms. This is an indirect reference to crucifixion.
While a terrible fate, this prophecy also confirms that Peter's faith will never again fail. Jesus calls each one of us who have lost our way or are damaged due to sin to also find redemption and reconciliation in Him.
