Pastor Andrey Gorban concludes Trinity's study of John's Gospel with a reflection on the final verses of John 21:20-25. This sermon explores two key themes: the will of Jesus and the works of Jesus. Pastor Gorban examines Peter's tendency to compare himself to others even moments after his restoration, highlighting how Christians often struggle with similar distractions from following Jesus wholeheartedly. He emphasizes that God's plan for each believer is unique and calls for trusting obedience rather than comparison with others. The sermon then turns to John's testimony about the countless deeds of Jesus that could never be fully recorded, demonstrating both the trustworthiness of the Gospel account and the inexhaustible nature of Christ's works. Pastor Gorban concludes by noting that Jesus continues to work today—saving, healing, and transforming lives—and that even eternity will not be sufficient to fully praise the one who has done so much for his people.
