St. Aidan's Anglican Church, Kansas City - Weekly Talks

During this 3rd Resurrection appearance (John 21), Peter is confronted with his limitations. Jesus accepts Peter's honest assessment of his own capacity to love, phileo (familial love) rather than agape (selfless love). Through Peter's failure, denying his Lord three times, and confessing his limited capacity to love, he is entrusted with Shepherding the flock of Jesus. Jesus transforms us through our failures.
