“Grace and Restoration”
Ted Swinburne
April 12, 2026


Some believe that John 1:1-18 was written after John 21 was finished as a summary of the whole letter. Read these verses again in light of the whole of John and talk about:
Who Jesus claimed to be…
Jesus as the source of life…
How Jesus shined light in the midst of darkness…
Humankind’s blindness to the truth…
The miracle of rebirth through Jesus…
The glory, grace, truth, and victory of Jesus…
Jesus’ invitation to all…

John 21 is the story of Jesus’ grace to the defeated disciples and restoration of Peter. We all need a “John 21” story…love, grace, truth,
confession, forgiveness, and restoration. Share your “John 21” story to the Life Group. In a sense, we are still writing Jesus’ Gospel Story.
