Proverbs Part 2: Faithfully Yours (Proverbs 18:24; John 21:1-19)

How did Peter the fisherman become Peter the faithful friend and church father? The answer is found in the faithfulness of Jesus. If ever there was a friend who sticks closer than a brother, Jesus is that friend. Peter, who had denied Jesus in His most vulnerable moment, is pursued and encouraged, transformed by the grace of God extended to him, and recommissioned by Jesus on a memorable day on the shores of the Sea of Galilee. This same Jesus is transforming us to be faithful friends who can extend His prophetic call, challenge, care, correction, and commission to others.
