Life After

John 21:1-19

I. John’s account

a. John 20:19 - together with the doors locked out of fear...

b. 20:20 After he said this, he showed them his hands and side.

c. 20:26 A week later Jesus visits again - Thomas WAS with them...

d. You’d think they would be busy planning their first evangelistic effort.

e. Instead - John 21:1-19

f. Why would they so easily go back to their old way of life?

g. Peter...I’m going fishing.

h. All this brought back memories...Luke 5:1-10

i. Jesus had now visited them 3 times.

j. Were they STILL having trouble grasping the resurrection?

II. Reinstating Peter?

a. When did Peter get uninstated?

b. That little incident when he denied Jesus three times...

c. “Simon son of John, do you love me more than these?”

d. The Greek word Jesus uses for love here is agapaho - unconditional love.

e. Jesus asks do you love me more than anything...Peter responds...Jesus.. you know I’m your friend.

f. Peter...if you love me...feed my sheep. Take care of my sheep.

g. 16 Again Jesus said, “Simon son of John, do you love me?”

h. Peter responds...you know I’m your friend.

i. 17 The third time he said to him, “Simon son of John, do you love me?”

j. THIS time Jesus uses the word Peter has been using...fileo...Jesus asks him... Peter...are you even my friend.

III. Life Lessons

a. 1 - There is a tendency in all of us to retreat from the supernatural and just live from day to day.

b. 2 - Jesus is less concerned about our failure than our willingness to fix our eyes on Him.

c. 4 - We can follow Jesus closely and at times life still won’t make sense.

d. 5 - As surely as He found the disciples in the boat, He will find you and me

e. 6 - Jesus works at our heart level.

f. 7 - Only sitting around will not accomplish the things of God.
