As we finish our reflections on John's gospel, we find Jesus reinstating Peter. Imagine the despair and shame which Peter would have felt after denying even knowing the one whom he loved. And yet, as Jesus replicates the miracle He did when first calling Peter, the disciple's response is completely different to the first time...no longer does He cower, aware of His sinfulness before the Holy Christ, rather He jumps from the boat - not letting anything hinder him from getting to Christ.
