There is neither shaming nor blaming, nor does Jesus forgive Peter. Instead, Jesus knows that what he will ask Peter to do is something Peter could not fathom before. Only now, in this renewal of relationship with the resurrected Jesus is Peter’s trust affirmed and Jesus’ trust in Peter confirmed. -Rev. Dr. Karoline Lewis, from her commentary on John 21:1-19 | @sanctifiedart 💜💙🩵💚💛🧡🩷❤️

Maybe that’s the way it is with God. I say, "Here’s my heart" and God smiles. And God takes it. And despite the ragtag nature of my human-hearted faith, whatever I can give always ends up on God’s mantel. Whatever I can give always calls for pride and joy. -from the poem “Here’s My Heart” by Rev. Sarah A. Speed | @sanctifiedart ❤️🩷🧡💛💚💙🩵💜

Though Peter’s story does not end with the conclusion of the Gospels, we finish our series with Peter’s encounter with the risen Christ. In this final week, we come full circle with Peter. He has dropped his nets, walked on water, professed his faith, been rebuked, received footwashing, denied Jesus, and run to the tomb. And now, Jesus once again meets him at the shoreline where Peter is casting his nets. Jesus offers abundant nourishment and also a new command: “Feed my sheep.” Then he turns to Peter and asks three times, “Do you love me?” It’s as if Jesus says, “Here’s my heart,” which washes over Peter’s three denials like a healing balm. No matter how far we wander, may we entrust our hearts to God. No matter if our faith is strong or weak, what we can give is our love. | @sanctifiedart

Painted in ink on paper, Peter’s expression here is inquisitive with a touch of concern. He’s tired, but hopeful. He has just gotten amazing news. Joanna, Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James relayed the message and Peter dared to believe it. The prophecy is coming true. So many of the things that Jesus foretold have happened over the last few days. The most heavy on Peter’s heart are his repeated denials. Fear took over. In contrast, now hope and joy begin to bubble up inside. He will see Jesus again! Jesus has overcome death! The prophecies have been fulfilled! Truly, God is in this place. —from the artist's statement for “Where?” by Hannah Garrity | @sanctifiedart 🌺🌸🌼

Like Peter, I would run if I could. Stop the car, pump my arms, take the church steps two at a time, all to know- Did it happen? Did it really happen? Is evil no match for love? -from the poem “Easter Morning” by Rev. Sarah A. Speed

We might expect that, after denying Christ, Peter would cower in shame - or perhaps even run away in an attempt to leave his past behind him. Instead, when he hears the news from the women, he doesn’t dismiss them like the other disciples. He gets up and runs to the tomb. When he peers into the empty tomb and sees the linen cloth, he is filled with awe. Even after the biggest failures, even after the worst case scenario has happened, can we run toward hope? Like Peter, will we keep going? Will we keep looking for God in our midst? | @sanctifiedart ☀️☀️☀️
