"Peter (21:15-19). This encounter of Peter with his risen Lord is filled with beautiful
material. Jesus offers Peter a public opportunity to profess repentance through
love, surely a striking example of what it is that reestablishes our relationship with

"Judaism and Christianity are religions bound together by their claims to the same biblical covenant initiated by God with Abraham and his descendants. Yet, despite the inseparable connection between the election of Israel and that of the church, between the "old" and the "new" covenant, this shared spiritual patrimony has been the source of a type of violent sibling rivalry competing for the same paternal love and inherited entitlement. ..."

"me, finds life" (8:35; cf. 4: 13; it is also the "tree of life" [3:18] and the "fountain of
life" [16:22]). Life is more than mere physical vitality, although length of days is a

respect. Life is meant to be enjoyed in the midst of family and friends. This
