We have one of my favorite encounters in all of scripture this week. It is filled with forgiveness and challenge, grace and action. There is so much going on in this Resurrection Encounter that I seem to find something new every single time I read it.
Here is the picture for this week...
The scripture for this Sunday comes from
John 21:9-19. In it, Jesus appears once more to the Disciples. Again he shares a meal with him, only this time they recognize him immediately. None of that "unrecognized stranger" business like in the Road to Emmaus this week.
After they share the meal Jesus has a question for Peter. Then he asks it again. Then he asks it again.
What is going on with the repetition? And what does this shepherding language have to do with anything? And where does Peter go from there?
Come join us this coming Sunday at First Christian Church Scottsdale as dive deep into this marvelous text and see what word God has in store for us!
