John Chapters 20-21

In this episode, we read John chapters 20 and 21, bringing the Gospel of John to its powerful and hope-filled conclusion. These chapters focus on the resurrection of Jesus and His appearances to His followers, confirming that He has overcome sin and death. We see the empty tomb, Jesus appearing to Mary Magdalene, and later to His disciples — including Thomas, who moves from doubt to belief. In chapter 21, Jesus restores Peter, reminding him of his calling and demonstrating grace, forgiveness, and purpose even after failure. John 20–21 reminds us that the resurrection is not just an event, but an invitation to believe, to be restored, and to live with renewed purpose in following Jesus.
