Digest

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

  1. What does this passage show me about God?

    • What did Jesus ask Peter three times, and how did Peter answer?
    • What did Jesus tell Peter to do, and what did he say at the end?
  2. What does it show me about people — and about myself?

    • After your own failures, how do you think Jesus sees you? How does this passage answer that?
  3. What will I obey this week? (a concrete step, with a day)

    • What will you do this week to care for someone Jesus has placed in your life?
  4. Who will I tell?

    • Who feels they have failed God too badly to come back? How could you share this conversation with them?

Grow

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

Pray

Lord, you know everything. You know that I love you. Here I am. I will care for your people, and I will follow you.
