John 21 reminds us that failure is never final with Jesus. Peter’s denial was not the end of his story — Jesus pursued him, restored him, and recommissioned him. The same Jesus calls each of us today, saying, “Follow me.” Whether you’ve drifted, doubted, or felt distant, this chapter is proof that His grace restores, His love pursues, and His purpose remains.
