Reflect on the need for grace and redemption. You need a Savior to guide you through life’s challenges and uncertainties. Jesus’ words to Peter in John 21:18-19 are both tender and profound. After Peter’s failure and restoration, the Lord did not merely forgive him; He called him forward. Christ revealed that Peter’s future would include sacrifice, dependence, and ultimately a death that would glorify God. When we are young, we often feel self-sufficient. We make our own plans, pursue our own desires, and believe we are in control. However, age, hardship, and experience teach us a different lesson. Human strength fades, yet God’s grace remains.
