What about HIM?
John 21:21-22 “When Peter saw him, he said to Jesus, ‘Lord, what about this man?’ Jesus said to him, ‘If it is my will that he remain until I come, what is that to you? You follow me!’” Throughout the New Testament, believers are instructed to be concerned with the lives of fellow believers. We are commanded to do such…

The Disciples Whom Jesus Loves
John 21:20 “Peter turned and saw the disciple whom Jesus loved following them” What an interesting statement we have in John 21 regarding Peter’s observation. As Peter spoke to Jesus, it says he turned and saw “the disciple whom Jesus loved.” We know that disciple to be the apostle John, who never names himself in the…

Who’s in control?
John 21:18-19 “’Truly, truly, I say to you, when you were young, you used to dress yourself and walk wherever you wanted, but when you are old, you will stretch out your hands, and another will dress you and carry you where you do not want to go.’ (This he said to show by what kind of death…

Exaggeration?
John 21:25 “Now there are also many other things that Jesus did.

It’s a characteristic of the human condition. …

How Deep is Your Love?
John 21:17 “He said to him the third time, ‘Simon, son of John, do you love me?’” Many years ago, the Bee Gees wrote and recorded the song “How Deep is Your Love?” It’s about the love of a man and a woman struggling with the answer to this question, since no one can ever really…

The Greatest Love
John 21:15 “When they had finished breakfast, Jesus said to Simon Peter, ‘Simon, son of John, do you love me more than these?’ He said to him, ‘Yes, Lord; you know that I love you.’ He said to him, ‘Feed my lambs.’” The greatest commandment in the Bible is this: “You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and…

The Upheld
John 21:1-6 “Afterward Jesus appeared again to his disciples, by the Sea of Galilee. It happened this way: Simon Peter, Thomas (also known as Didymus), Nathanael from Cana in Galilee, the sons of Zebedee, and two other disciples were together. ’I’m going out to fish,’ Simon Peter told them, and they said, ‘We’ll go with you.’ So they went out and got into…

The Revelation of Christ
John 21:1 “After this Jesus revealed himself again to the disciples by the Sea of Tiberias, and he revealed himself in this way.” It is interesting how every time we read about Jesus encountering people after the resurrection His identity was apparently hidden from them at first. This was true when Jesus appeared to Mary Magdalene, to the…
