He Is Not Done | John 21:1-21

When life becomes overwhelming, our natural tendency is to retreat to familiar territory, just like Peter did when he returned to fishing after Jesus' crucifixion. In John 21, we see Jesus meeting Peter on the shoreline, asking simple questions that reveal our need for Him. Jesus doesn't wait for us to get our lives together before He approaches us - He meets us exactly where we are, in our uncertainty and struggle. Even when Peter could only offer conditional love instead of unconditional devotion, Jesus still commissioned him to feed His sheep. The Christian journey isn't about going backward to what feels safe, but trusting God to expand our capacity for the greater things He's calling us toward.
