22.05.26 “Kingdom Builder?” (John 21:16-25; Acts 1:1-6)

 

Yesterday I left you sitting on the shoreline of Lake Galilee with the resurrected Jesus and seven of His disciples. They were having a Jesus cooked breakfast after a long night of 'empty net' fishing. It was a remarkable, unforgettable experience. Jesus had just asked Peter a huge question: "Peter, do you 'love' Me more than these?" (John 21:15). Peter, of course, reflected deeply on his denials of Jesus, his flight into the shadows as Jesus stood trial, and was beaten and later crucified. Finally, Peter responded, "Lord, you know that I 'love' you."  I explained to you yesterday that Peter used a very different word for "love" than what Jesus had used. But still, Jesus invited Peter to a new mission in his life. He had said, "Feed My lambs."  (Click here to see full text, images and links)       Today's Scripture is John 21:16-25; Acts 1:1-6. Choose below to read or listen.John 21:16-25​​ Acts 1:1-6​​ Pastor Doug Anderson    262.441.8785   “Let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us, with our eyes fixed on Jesus…” (Heb. 12:1,2) Have a comment or question about today’s chapter? I’m ready to hear from you, contact me here.
