"The Beauty of Restoration"
The Final Days of Jesus in the Gospel of John
Was there a time you were committed to Christ?
Was there a time you actively served the Lord with gladness?
Was there a time you met the Lord each day for a quiet time of prayer and
study?
But not now.
Have you wandered away in your walk with Jesus? Here’s the good news.
Jesus will restore you if you meet Him at the Cross. That’s what happened to
the Apostle John. He ran away. He deserted the Lord, but he met Jesus back
at the cross. Jesus restored John… Jesus also restored Peter…and Jesus can
restore you too.
Do you want to be restored? Like John, you may have known the Lord for a
long time, but something caused you to slip away from the side of Jesus. It’s
time for you to come back. The Bible says, “Come near to God and He will
come near to you” (James 4:8, NIV).
Come to the cross. It is only there you can witness how wide and long and
high and deep is the love Christ has for you. And when you meet Him there,
the first thing Jesus says to you is, “I’m glad you are back. I’ve missed you. I
want to restore you to a place where you lean on me. Now, I have a job for you.
