“What happens after Easter? Don’t go back to normal.”- John 21:1-19
•
Pastor John Thomas
John 21:1-19 is one of the greatest moments in the Bible. Jesus comes to get Peter who tried to go back to normal after the cross and fish: God did not want Him, or you and me to go back to normal after encountering the Risen Christ!
“Yet the third time, Jesus uses Peter’s word Phileo for the question “Do you love me.” Put in modern terms, Jesus asks Peter the third time if Jesus is still Peter’s friend even after everything that has happened on the cross, and that, sends Peter into a state of weeping.”
