We don’t like failure. It bruises our ego. It angers us. It brings guilt. It brings despair. It brings fear. And the most painful failure for the Christian is the failure to live out our Christian faith. If you can identify, then I have good news for you in John 21. This passage is for failures! It is for those who have failed Jesus! Few people have crashed and fallen to the depths of sin and unfaithfulness as the Apostle Peter, who denied His Lord; yet, few people have been so powerfully used by God as Peter – after he repented and was restored. Peter’s story in John 21 gives us hope and encouragement because it illustrates a glorious truth: Your failure hasn’t put you out of reach from Jesus’ restoring grace.
