"When they got out on land, they saw a charcoal fire in place, with fish laid out on it, and bread ... Jesus said to them, “Come and have breakfast.” ... When they had finished breakfast, Jesus said to Simon Peter, “Simon, son of John, do you love me more than these?” (John 21).  We finish our 20-part series on John's gospel today.  As you read John's finale, Peter seems to have gone back to be a fisherman after the resurrection.  Perhaps he believes that he has disgraced and disqualified himself from God's service.  However, Jesus does the most incredible thing in order to show Peter that God's not finished with him yet.  Initially you might just be amazed that Jesus, the King of the Universe, has made breakfast (!) for these guys.  Even more-so, Jesus has built this fire because He's recreating the scene when Peter denied and betrayed Jesus around a fire.  Then Jesus reverses Peter's three denials with three confessions of his love for Jesus.  Each time Jesus commissions Peter to be a shepherd of His people, through caring for them with God's love and leading them with God's word.  Satan sought Peter's destruction, Peter sabotaged himself, but Jesus has a way of picking up the broken pieces and restoring His fallen servant.  It is so good to know that we have a God of second chances...because I'm in need of continual and constant forgiveness!  God is extremely patient and gracious with each of us, so today don't run away or remain far off from Him, rather return in repentance and come close in the faith that Jesus has made you perfectly acceptable.
