 I honestly can't believe the Apostle Peter came back from this. If you remember, Jesus prophesied that after the rooster crowed on three occasions, Peter would deny Jesus. After all that came true, Jesus was crucified, but what happened to Peter? He went right back to doing what he was doing before he met Jesus, but then Jesus appeared to him. He did the same miracle that he first did when he met Peter. And little later on, he asked him three questions. Now, there's so much more to this text, but let's get to Jesus' question. Simon Peter, do you love me? Peter said yes each time, and Jesus replied slightly differently each time. Feed my lambs, tend my sheep, feed my sheep. Think about it, Peter had just denied three times that he even knew Jesus. But now Jesus was entrusting him to feed his sheep. The truth is that Jesus extended grace to Peter. He didn't want him to wallow in his failure, but rather let his love for God overflow into action for his kingdom. Friend, don't just wallow in your sin in self-pity. Repent, and an aspect of that repentance is letting your love for God lead you to action for his kingdom.
