The most important meal of the day... 

Not just any breakfast.  It was the third time He had appeared to His disciples after His resurrection. They had gone back to fishing when suddenly they heard someone calling them from the shore.  Who was calling?

They did not expect to see Him that morning.  

John said, “It is the Lord”!

John loved Him and recognized Him before the others did.  Do we know Him when He comes to eat and share with us?  He has much to tell us. 

 
He came that morning to them all, but especially to one disciple. 
His conversation with Peter is one that has been recorded for all of us to read.  It is a touching moment.

  
The night before His death on the cross Peter had denied that he had ever known Him.  But this day he was the first to run to Him.  It was Peter’s time to shed the guilt he had carried for days. 

We have all denied Him at some time during our walk with Him.  He is ready to forgive us and ask us where do we stand in our relationship with Him today.  

His questions to us are the same ones he asked Peter.  Do you love me just as a friend? Or do you burn with love for me more than anything?

 
That is what He is asking us.  Is our love for Him passionate?   Is that love for Him like a fire within us?  Do we feel His love burning in our hearts?

  
If not.  Seek Him with all your heart.  Let Him search your heart.  May your relationship with Him be one that burns with a deep passion.  

When you do He will call you to do those things He planned for you.  You will stand free from guilt as you love Him with all your heart, soul, and might. 

Rejoice in the One who loves you. 
Meet Him for breakfast! 
John 21:1-17
