Daily Bible Reading – April 2022: God’s Renewing Word of HopeExemplo
April 20
Introduction
Jesus speaks to Simon Peter, and three times he calls upon Peter to care for Jesus’s lambs and sheep (verses 15-17). Scholars have interpreted the three questions about Peter’s love for Jesus as a counterbalance to Peter’s earlier three denials of Jesus (John 18:17, 25-27).
Scripture Reading
John 21:15-25
Today’s Key Verse: John 21:16b
Jesus said to him, “Take care of my sheep.”
Reflect
What command did Jesus give to Peter? What did that mean for Peter? What does it mean for Jesus’s followers today? In what way does your 'community of faith' care for Jesus’s lambs and sheep?
Pray
Lord Jesus, you call us to be your disciples and to care for one another. Open my eyes to the “lambs and sheep” I encounter today and teach me to share with them your message of love and salvation. Amen.
Tomorrow’s Reading
Romans 9:1-18: The apostle Paul describes God’s relationship to the people of Israel.
