Finishing Well (John 21:1–23) - Miscellaneous

In John 21, the Lord Jesus Christ pastorally confronts Peter and predicts that he will grow old, weakening in body, yet dying a death in which he will glorify God. In other words, he will finish well. Finishing well is the goal of everyone who has been saved by the gospel of Christ. We will look at this passage under four headings: 1. An Existential Crisis (vv. 1–14) 2. An Essential Confrontation (15–17) 3. An Eventual Contrast (vv. 18–19) 4. An Erroneous Comparison (vv. 20–23)
