Commentary
John 21 is a beautiful chapter that speaks to the power of Jesus' love and grace. In this chapter, Jesus appears to the disciples after his resurrection and shows them the power of his love and grace. He invites them to breakfast and then asks Peter three times if he loves him. This is a powerful reminder of Jesus' love and grace, and how he is willing to forgive and restore us no matter how many times we fail him. Jesus then commissions Peter to feed his sheep, a reminder of the importance of caring for others and being a good shepherd. Finally, Jesus tells Peter that he will die a martyr's death, a reminder of the ultimate sacrifice Jesus made for us. This chapter is a powerful reminder of Jesus' love and grace and how he is willing to forgive and restore us no matter how many times we fail him.
