Life of Peter: Peter's Shame

Do you feel like following Jesus is a spiritual treadmill of sorts? When it's going well, all is good, but when you fall off, it's somehow hard to get back on? One of the best passages in all of Scripture, John 21:1-19 is a picture of the resurrected Jesus making breakfast for the disciples on a beach. It is Jesus' restoration of a shamed Peter who lives out of the narrative that he is nothing but a failure (and always will be a failure). And as campus minister Robert Knuth highlights, it is Jesus' presence and words that ultimately get Peter back in the game to love and shepherd God's people.
