Show Notes

Today, we share one final devotional drawn from our original musical, “The Disciple Whom Jesus Loves.” This episode is rooted in grace, restoration, and hope—for two disciples (Peter and Thomas), and for us.

Peter was bold, passionate, and deeply loyal. He walked on water, declared Jesus as the Christ, and stood by Him with a sword in Gethsemane. Yet, in his most vulnerable moment, by a charcoal fire, Peter denied even knowing Jesus—not once, but three times.

Still, Peter’s story didn’t end there.

By another fire—this one after the resurrection—Jesus called Peter back. No condemnation. No list of wrongs. Just three simple but soul-piercing questions: “Do you love Me?” And with each answer, Jesus rewrote Peter’s failure with purpose: “Feed my sheep.”

This tender exchange inspired today’s featured song: “He Still Calls My Name.”

Thomas, too, had a journey. His famous doubt wasn’t cynicism—it was heartbreak. He had hoped. And then he had watched hope die on a cross.

But Jesus came back for him, too.

He met Thomas right where he was—in his grief, his confusion, his need for proof. “Put your finger here. See my hands,” Jesus said. And in that moment, doubt turned to declaration:
“My Lord and my God.”

Like Peter, Thomas wasn’t shamed for his weakness. He was met with love.
