This is a poetic retelling of the reinstatement of Peter. It relates Jesus' forgiveness to us today.


Extract from the poem:

When Jesus met Peter on that beach,
after Peter had denied knowing him three times,
Jesus didn't:
confront him and make him feel small;
hold a grudge for years;
ask him to grovel and plead in the sand;
order him to work hard for his forgiveness.

When Peter met Jesus on that beach,
after he had denied knowing him three times,
Jesus asked him three times:
'Do you love me?'
And then he gave him a new start, a fresh beginning.
'Come, be my disciple,' he said, 'follow me.'

When we meet Jesus each morning,
after another day of ups and downs,
Jesus doesn't:
confront us and make us feel small;
hold a grudge for years;
ask us to grovel and plead in the sand;
order us to work hard for our forgiveness...
