The Prodigal's Welcome Home

Feb 27, 2026

Three times Peter denied Jesus. Three times Jesus asked, "Do you love me?" This wasn't interrogation—it was restoration.

Notice Jesus' tenderness. He didn't demand Peter prove himself or serve a probationary period. He simply invited him to breakfast and gave him purpose again.

This is the heart of the Father toward you. Not standing on the porch demanding, "What do you have to say for yourself?" but running toward you, embracing you, celebrating your return.

You have a new life in Jesus—it's supernatural. Yes, you'll fail Him sometimes. But you'll also be restored by Him—amazingly, completely, tenderly.

Philippians 1:6 promises: "He who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion." Jesus will not quit on you. Your failures don't define you. His love does.
