2 Digest

Answer from what the passage actually says — stay in the text.

1. What does this passage show me about God?

   • What happens on the beach — the catch, the breakfast, the three questions to Peter — and what does Jesus keep telling Peter to do?

2. What does it show me about people — and about myself?

   • Three denials, three chances to say 'I love you.' What does the way Jesus restores Peter tell you about how he deals with your failures?

3. What will I obey this week? (a concrete step, with a day)

   • Jesus told Peter, 'Feed my sheep' — love expressed as care for others. Having finished the whole Gospel, who will you begin to feed this week, and what is your 'I will…' from this book?

4. Who will I tell?

   • John wrote all of this 'that you may believe that Jesus is the Messiah, the Son of God.' Who will you now help to believe — and what is your first step this week?

3 Grow

Growth is God's part, not yours. Do the cycle faithfully and trust Him to give the growth (1 Corinthians 3:6–7).
