Serving His Disciples Breakfast

Jesus came and took the bread and gave it to them, and the fish likewise. This is now the third time that Jesus was manifested to the disciples, after He was raised from the dead.  John 21:13-14

Breakfast was served…literally by Jesus. Bread and fish. The disciples knew it was Jesus. This was the third time that they had seen Him after His resurrection.  He was alive. Did they think that He would stay with them forever?  What a wonderful thought …to have Jesus there encouraging them personally and fixing breakfast occasionally. How sweet it would be! But we know that He didn’t stick around forever there in Israel. His Father had called Him home—but He got to spend some time with His friends before He had to go away. Spend some time…advising them where to fish…and fixing them breakfast. Yes. This started out to be a terrific day for the disciples. What does it take to make a day terrific for you?

RSVP:  Jesus served bread and fish to His disciple fishermen friends. He may fix the same meal for you one day in Heaven. For now Jesus is offering you spiritual food in His Word. Will you partake of it today? How will you respond to Him today?

Prayer ~ Jesus, You made Peter, Andrew, James and John become fishers of men—drawing in people to believe in You. Help me to follow in Your footsteps and in Your disciples’ footsteps and bring others to You—to know You as Lord, Savior, Provider, Creator, Redeemer, and Friend. Son of God and  Son of Man.
