Jesus Restores Peter’s Calling: Reflections on John 21:15–25

In John 21:15–17, Jesus asks Peter three times if he loves him. Peter affirms his love each time. Jesus then entrusts him with caring for his lambs and sheep. Verses 18–19 foreshadow Peter’s sacrificial death and end with a call: “Follow me!” This underlines the cost and glory of discipleship. Peter then notices the disciple Jesus loved. Jesus reminds him to focus on his own path, not another’s role or reward. This passage invites reflection on love, obedience, and personal calling.
