A Disgraced Disciple
Bold
Matthew 14:28-29 ““Lord, if it’s you,” Peter answered him, “command me to come to you on the water.”
29 He said, “Come.”
And climbing out of the boat, Peter started walking on the water and came toward Jesus.”
Confident
John 13:37 ““Lord,” Peter asked, “why can’t I follow you now?
I will lay down my life for you.””
Challenged
John 13:38 “Jesus replied, “Will you lay down your life for me?
Truly I tell you, a rooster will not crow until you have denied me three times.”
Defiant
John 18:10 “Then Simon Peter, who had a sword, drew it, struck the high priest’s servant, and cut off his right ear.
(The servant’s name was Malchus.)”
Afraid
John 18:17 “Then the servant girl who was the doorkeeper said to Peter, “You aren’t one of this man’s disciples too, are you?”
“I am not,” he said.”
Detached
Matthew 26:74 “Then he started to curse and to swear with an oath, “I don’t know the man!” Immediately a rooster crowed,”
Disgraced
Still Part of the Group
They had all deserted
Mark 14:50 “Then they all deserted him and ran away.”
Yet stayed together
Peter and John
John 20:2 “2 So she went running to Simon Peter and to the other disciple, the one Jesus loved, and said to them, “They’ve taken the Lord out of the tomb, and we don’t know where they’ve put him!””
Then Ten Together
John 20:19 “19 When it was evening on that first day of the week, the disciples were gathered together with the doors locked because they feared the Jews.
Jesus came, stood among them, and said to them, “Peace be with you.””
In sorrow, worry and wonder, Seeing Jesus.
Commissioned as Jesus’ Apostles
Given Holy Spirit Power and Discernment
But of course, Thomas was not there.
Peter and John certainly were.
But they were still trapped in their fear, worry and wonder.
Again Jesus Appears to Them in Hiding
Just the next week.
And Thomas was there.
John 20:26 (CSB)
26 A week later his disciples were indoors again, and Thomas was with them.
Even though the doors were locked, Jesus came and stood among them and said, “Peace be with you.”
The Third Appearance
They were all still lost in grief.
They were struggling to accept their mission
Their Buried Mission Needed A Resurrection
We covered the lessons they still needed to learn:
Jesus called them to be fishers of men
Their net was empty with Jesus
The net was full by Jesus’ command
Jesus’Revived their Purpose
Jesus Invited The Disciples
Back to Fellowship With Jesus
And the Third Appearance was in the book.
And then the focus shifts so we can understand. . .
Peter’s Experience of Grace
Worried About His Actions
-Broken Promises
-Fear Kept Him Out
-His Heart Kept Him In
-What would Jesus think of him?
Peter’s Experience of Grace begins with an important question:
How’s Your Heart?
John 21:15a “When they had eaten breakfast, Jesus asked Simon Peter, “Simon, son of John, do you love me more than these?”
I think I’m Good
John 21:15b “Yes, Lord,” he said to him, “you know that I love you.”
Here’s Your Mission
John 21:15c “Feed my lambs,” he told him.”
Then A Second Time:
How’s Your Heart?
John 21:16a “A second time he asked him, “Simon, son of John, do you love me?”
I still think I’m good
John 21:16b “Yes, Lord,” he said to him, “you know that I love you.”
Here’s Your Mission
John 21:16c “Shepherd my sheep,” he told him.
Then a Third Time:
How’s Your Heart?
John 21:17a “He asked him the third time, “Simon, son of John, do you love me?”
Peter Confronts His Guilt

A Humble Heart is an Honest Heart
John 21:17c He said, “Lord, you know everything; you know that I love you.”
Here’s Your Mission
John 21:17d “Feed my sheep,” Jesus said.”
Following Jesus is Costly
Jesus Had Challenged Peter
John 13:38 “38 Jesus replied, “Will you lay down your life for me?”
Now Peter’s Resolve Was Ready
Your Old Life Was Yours
John 21:18a “Truly I tell you, when you were younger, you would tie your belt and walk wherever you wanted.
Your New Life Is Full Surrender
John 21:18b “But when you grow old, you will stretch out your hands and someone else will tie you and carry you where you don’t want to go.”
To Glorify God Even in Death

Don’t Fade in Faithfulness
