Summary
Dr. Owen Strachan explores the restoration of Peter in John 21:15-19. He emphasizes that God has amazing grace and mercy for Christians every day of their Christian life. Strachan provides five observations on how God restores sinners, focusing on Jesus going to Peter, engaging him in a dialogue, redirecting his attention to love, giving him marching orders, and foretelling his fate. He encourages listeners to understand that Christianity is not about legalistic rituals but a glad following of Jesus, with the assurance that God forgives and helps us keep following Him.

| 0:00.0 | God restores Christians. That's the series that we are working through this week in grace and truth. |
| 0:18.6 | We're thinking about, in particular, the restoration of Peter. |
| 0:22.7 | In today's episode of Grace and Truth, we're going to dig into John 21, 15 to 19. |
| 0:28.0 | I introduced that in the previous episode, and I'll be continuing some thoughts in the next episode. |
| 0:34.1 | And what I want you to understand today, as I've said, is that it is vital that you |
| 0:38.9 | understand that God has amazing grace and mercy for you, not just to make you a Christian. |
| 0:45.3 | That's wonderfully true, but God has amazing grace and mercy for you as a Christian every day of your |
| 0:53.8 | Christian life. And so I pray that this humble little series |

| 1:04.8 | fail as I do and we all do, you will not run away from God, but you will run toward God. And what we're going to see |
| 1:12.5 | in today's episode is a Savior who doesn't just find sinners and get them saved. This is the Savior |
| 1:21.1 | who finds his people and then refines them, comes back to them, goes to them when they have drifted from him, and graciously |
| 1:31.2 | pulls them back. Today we're going to see in some the wonder of Jesus. We're going to gaze at |
| 1:38.9 | Jesus and be so thankful for him, I think, as God works in our hearts for the Jesus who not only |
| 1:45.2 | finds us, but refines us. Welcome to Grace and Truth. My name is Owen Strand. I will be your |
