Gratefully Remorseful | Rev. Brooke Hartman
Description
After Jesus’ resurrection, he appears multiple times to the disciples. One such time is on the shores of the Sea of Galilee. There, he and the disciples present fish again. We see the connection in Jesus meeting the disciples on the shore at their jobs when he called them. It is here that Jesus speaks with Peter, the one who denied Jesus three times. A conversation about love and tending to Jesus’ sheep occurs. Through this conversation, Jesus “reinstates”, thus calling Peter a second time to follow Jesus. A call that Peter accepts gratefully.
We too find ourselves again at the feet of Jesus, remorseful, disappointed, and Jesus meets us here too. Jesus calls us again to follow. We, too, have a choice to respond to the grace and love of Jesus Christ.
