Life has always been gift and grace. God’s grace is even bigger than we thought. John 21 demonstrates this truth to us through His love for Peter after his denial of Jesus as well as through His service to the disciples.
We are in a soul-forming world that often shapes us through suffering. But the joy that pain will produce is boundless.
