Breakfast on the Beach

At daybreak, after a night of fruitless fishing, a charcoal fire is burning on the shore of the Sea of Galilee, and Peter knows that at another fire, barely two weeks earlier, he had said three times: I never knew him. This meeting with the risen Jesus (John 21) is the heart of a sermon about a man who failed his closest friend and went back to his boat, convinced his story was over. Instead of reproach comes one simple question about love, and it changes everything. Listen, if you have ever thought that after your fall God has no task left for you.
