“For if, when we were enemies, we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son, much more, being reconciled, we shall be saved by his life.”
Romans 5:10.
God's dealings with the Apostle Peter in the scriptures inspite of his mistakes was to reveal to us that He is a God of grace.
After Jesus had risen from the dead, one day Peter said to the others, “… I go a fishing. They say unto him, We also go with thee. They went forth, and entered into a ship immediately; and that night they caught nothing.” John 21:3. At this time, they were not supposed to be fishing but because of the decision Peter took, they were out in the sea fishing again.
When Jesus appeared to them in their disobedience, the first thing He did was not to reprimand them, instead He first reached out to them in love and called them children; “… Children, have ye any meat? They answered him, No.” John 21:5. He still chose to favour them after they had toiled all night without success, He said, “… Cast the net on the right side of the ship, and ye shall find. They cast therefore, and now they were not able to draw it for the multitude of fishes.” John 21:6. He is saying to you that even when you don't deserve it, He is still willing to help you prosper.
As the disciples came to meet Jesus on the shore they met Him preparing breakfast for them, “As soon then as they were come to land, they saw a fire of coals there, and fish laid thereon, and bread. Jesus saith unto them, Bring of the fish which ye have now caught. Jesus saith unto them, Come and dine.” John 21:9-10,12. He fed them in disobedience. What an expression of unconditional love, favour and grace to the undeserving? He did this for them because of us. He wants us to see how much He loves His own and unwilling to abandon them. Come to your Lord today. Come home to Him today with faith in His love even though you may feel unworthy. He will receive you and cleanse you from all unrighteousness.
