Jn21

It is so easy to stop following Jesus. Without daily resolve and attention, we naturally will begin to pursue our own interests and not the things of God.

After the resurrection and before Christ ascension, the disciples thought, "What now?" Peter, being the leader, decided to go "back to business as usual". He said, "I'm going fishing." Had he forgotten what Jesus had said? Was he just needing a vacation from ministry and a couple of weeks to "clear his mind"? Was he listening to himself rather than hearing the words of Christ?

Graciously Jesus appeared again! And Jesus does the same thing for us if we will let Him. The role of the Holy Spirit is to guide us to follow Jesus. Our daily lives might involve a fishing trip. Our lives should be about obeying Jesus. Today, if we find ourselves distracted from this mission, it's time to refocus on following Jesus.

Who knows who Jesus wants to touch through our lives today?

  1. Why do they not continue about the other things Jesus did?
