OUR LORD GOD ALMIGHTY OUR CREATOR IS A GOD OF SECOND AND MORE CHANCES

God is forgiving.When we think that not long time ago, we discovered Peter’s three denials of Jesus. We remember his anguish upon the hearing of the rooster crowing, because Jesus had prophesied of these denials. Today, we return to that story, but see the renewal of commitment. In Peter’s story we are reminded that God loves to give a second chance.Text: After this, Jesus revealed Himself again to His disciples by the Sea of Tiberias. He revealed Himself in this way:2 Simon Peter, Thomas (called “Twin”), Nathanael from Cana of Galilee, Zebedee’s sons, and two others of His disciples were together.3 “I’m going fishing,” Simon Peter said to them.“We’re coming with you,” they told him. They went out and got into the boat, but that night they caught nothing.4 When daybreak came, Jesus stood on the shore. However, the disciples did not know it was Jesus.5 “Men,” Jesus called to them, “you don’t have any fish, do you?”“No,” they answered.6 “Cast the net on the right side of the boat,” He told them, “and you’ll find some.” So they did, and they were unable to haul it in because of the large number of fish.( 7)Therefore the disciple, the one Jesus loved, said to Peter, “It is the Lord!”
