Grace and peace to you from our Lord Jesus Christ.
I find it very fitting that John ends his gospel with Peter being reinstated by Jesus. Peter, who swore he would never deny Jesus; Peter, who actually did deny Jesus, is here reinstated into fellowship with the same Jesus whom he betrayed. This is grace in action, the grace of Jesus being acted out on Peter. We are invited into the presence of the Lord. No matter what we have done, we are all invited to come into the presence of, and fellowship with, Jesus. This is why Jesus was born, this is why he died: that we might be restored to right relationship with him and with God our Father. God bless you.
