The Bold God!
"Come and have breakfast!" (John 21:12)
Once Jesus saw a man up in a tree who was there because he was too short to see Jesus walking down the street. Jesus invites Himself to the man's house for dinner. How forward!
Just a couple of weeks ago, as Jesus had turned toward Jerusalem for the last time, He sent disciples into the city. There He told them to be bold and take a donkey that didn't belong to them, and later, to go to a prescribed upper room and fix a meal for Him and for others, thank you very much!
During His three years of ministry, Jesus goes to a Samaritan village, unannounced; He enters into Simon the Pharisee's house (much to the chagrin of His disciples I'm sure), and is willing to enter into a Roman soldier's home to heal someone (much to the dismay of those few Pharisees who were in favor of Him). Jesus commanded whatever He wanted-after all-He was God!
Sounds rather bold, doesn't it?
After the Lord's death, the tables are turned. It's just the way of God. In the story of John 21, this Sunday's Gospel, Jesus helps the disciples as they are fishing. They have a large catch of fish. They can hardly bring it ashore.
Once they all arrive - they find that Jesus has fixed breakfast for them. That's a change! The One who used to declare things done for Him, now has become the One who serves.
It's been this way ever since.
It's the very reason we offer the Eucharist every Sunday. We need the real presence of Jesus in our lives; we need the bread and wine - truly the body and blood of Jesus - to help us remain faithful by knowing (being reminded constantly) what Jesus has done for us, His eternal service to you and to me.
Let us react in like manner. Let us be bold as Jesus. Let us share the faith in the same way by loving our neighbors as ourselves. What better way to show the love of God?
Always remember - God loves you and so do we!
