Resurrection & Relationships: Reconciliation and Perpetrator Grief

Dr. Monique Smith Gadson Episode 178

In this episode, Dr. Mo continues the series, Resurrection and Relationships. Today’s focus is when we find ourselves engaging in the difficult work of reconciliation and there is frustration and grief from the perpetrator. 

We are discussing and thinking about practical ways to participate in the work of reconciliation. Dr. Mo reads from John 21:15-17 as we focus on this interaction between Jesus and Peter. Ironically, this is the third time that Jesus appears to the disciples following the Resurrection. And here we see Jesus asking Peter three times if Peter really loves Him. Theologians suggest that Jesus asked this question three times as a way to redeem Peter. One time for each of the three denials of Jesus. 

Tune in to this episode as we think about how Jesus might be inviting perpetrators of betrayal to engage in reconciliation especially when one might be grieved at the duration of the process and the repeated interrogations.
