Easter has always been one of my favorite holidays to celebrate. When I was younger, I was all about the new Easter dress in some bright color and the hunt that followed a big meal on Easter Sunday. Now that I think of it, Easter dress shopping was a hunt in and of itself. Browsing the racks at the JCPenney became a sport I could excel in. But as I've gotten older, Easter has taken on a new level of purpose and significance in my life. To be fair, I have and always will know that Christ rose from the dead and because of that we celebrate Easter. I can sing "Up from the grave He arroooossseee" with such gusto. However, Easter is more than that. Easter is at the core of who a believer is. Without Easter, we would be without purpose. Morbidly, we would be dead.
Peter's Restoration | Our Reconciliation

When they had finished breakfast, Jesus said to Simon Peter, "Simon, son of John, do you love me more than these?" He said to him, "Yes Lord; you know that I love you." He said to him, "Feed my lambs."
John 21
For Easter, I've been slowly making my way through LifeWay's Easter study - Behold Your King. Always desiring to have a full belly from the entirety of the study, I am reminded Truth comes in nuggets. There are parts of books and studies that will stick out more than others. The story of Peter's restoration is one such example.
