I am in Day 33 of One On One: Days with Jesus--Passion.
We're just getting started! It was just the beginning. It is probably human nature to believe that walking with Christ is a destination and end or even a goal.
But what if I told you that is the beginning? When Jesus says "come to me all who are weary..." is an invitation to begin
Begin to look at things from different perspective.
Begin to believe in someone and something bigger than ourselves.
Begin to turn the world upside down.
...and that's what about to happen in this account. The spark. A supernatural spark. I love this account in John 21. The disciples back on the Sea of Galilee. Back in the boat. Catching fish for dinner. But the next morning. ...again, we know what happens, Jesus appears on the shore. Again, they don't know that the very person they are talking to is Jesus.
Throw the new on the right side. I am fascinated by this instruction from Jesus. He didn't say through it back in. He said throw it on the right side of the boat. The right side. The other side. Was this a subtle preview of what Christianity was going to be. Something different. A movement that is different. A movement that it says in Acts 17:6 that would cause all kinds of trouble in that the world would come to hear of "the Way"?
Peter! Peter then recognized who He was! It is the Lord. What happened next was just the beginning. A conversation, a charge, a challenge, a movement would begin. A fire was not only set to cook but it was set in the hearts of these disciples.
It was the beginning of "The Way" the Church. A supernatural spark was the beginning!
