The Sermon/Reflection for May 1st is: “When Shame Meets Grace – and Grace Wins” by the Rev. Scott Rosenstein – based on the reading from John 21:1-25.

The Gospel reading of John 21 is a post-resurrection appearance of Jesus to 7 disciples on a beach on the shore of the Sea of Tiberias (Galilee). The disciples have been fishing all night and have caught nothing. The mysterious stranger on the beach directs them to lower their nets again – and now there is a miraculous and abundant catch of fish. The stranger (now recognized as Jesus) offers grilled fish and bread to the disciples on the shore. The episode includes a 3-fold conversation between Jesus and Peter (“Peter, do you love me? – Feed my lambs/sheep”) that transforms Peter’s shame and guilt for denying Jesus three times before the crucifixion. Shame is transformed by Grace – and Peter is given the new – and challenging – mission to care for Christ’s flock.
