This week's message is "Jesus Reinstates Peter". The Scripture is John 21: 15-19:
15 - When
they had finished eating, Jesus said to Simon Peter, "Simon son of John,
do you truly love me more than these?" "Yes, Lord," he said,
"you know that I love you." Jesus said, "Feed my lambs."
16 - Again
Jesus said, "Simon son of John, do you truly love me?" He answered,
"Yes, Lord, you know that I love you." Jesus said, "Take care of
my sheep."
17 - The
third time he said to him, "Simon son of John, do you love me?" Peter
was hurt because Jesus asked him the third time, "Do you love me?" He
said, "Lord, you know all things; you know that I love you." Jesus
said, "Feed my sheep.
18 - I tell
you the truth, when you were younger you dressed yourself and went where you
wanted; but when you are old you will stretch out your hands, and someone else
will dress you and lead you where you do not want to go."
19 - Jesus
said this to indicate the kind of death by which Peter would glorify God. Then
he said to him, "Follow me!"
