Restored for Leadership: Jesus and Peter's Renewal

📖 Introduction

Welcome to this 7-day journey exploring the profound restoration of Peter by Jesus after his denial and failure. Peter, known for his boldness and sometimes impulsive nature, faced a deep moment of failure when he denied Jesus three times on the night of His arrest. Yet, this was not the end of Peter's story. The Gospels reveal a beautiful truth: Jesus restores those who repent and believe, empowering them for a renewed purpose.

In John 21:15–19, we see a powerful scene where Jesus personally reinstates Peter with love and grace. By asking Peter three times if he loves Him, Jesus not only forgives but also commissions Peter to "feed My sheep," entrusting him with leadership in the early Church. This restoration highlights the heart of God's forgiveness — it is always available, transformative, and purposeful.

Over the next seven days, we’ll dive into related Gospel accounts and Scriptures, discovering how failure is not the final word, how Jesus’ restoration ushers in new beginnings, and how each of us can find hope and strength in His redemptive love. Whether you identify with Peter’s struggles, doubts, or victories, be encouraged: Jesus prepares and equips us to lead, serve, and grow in His grace. Let this study renew your faith as we walk alongside Peter on this journey of restoration and leadership. 🙏✨
