Main Idea: The story ain’t over
Sub Point 1: John recorded so that we would respond
- If the story is true, it matters
Sub Point 2: Failure doesn’t define your future
- Jesus is willing to ask the questions we need, not the ones we want
Sub Point 3: Following Jesus is a call to radical discipleship
- Peter had to decide what was important to him
“How happy is its church, on which apostles poured forth all their doctrine along with their blood! Where Peter endures a passion like his Lord’s! Where Paul wins his crown in a death like John’s where the Apostle John was first plunged, unhurt, into boiling oil, and thence remitted to his island-exile!” – The Prescription Against Heretics (Tertullian), ch 36
Application: Don’t worry about outcomes; follow Jesus
- Jesus calls us to follow him as this story continues
I hear the Holy Spirit saying…
I live this truth out by…
