I have been privileged to have my college-aged grandson with me this week painting my deck! We have enjoyed eating and eating and sharing. Last weekend, I had my children, grandchildren, great grand, and sons-in-laws around farm tables dining together. This reminded me of the account of Jesus dining with Peter and the other disciples on fresh caught fish cooked on an open fire while enjoying the fellowship and wisdom of our Savior. “As soon as they saw a fire of coals there, and fish laid thereon, and bread….Jesus said to them, ‘COME AND DINE.‘ None of the disciples dared ask him, Who are you? knowing that it was the Lord. Jesus comes and takes bread and gives them and fish also. This is now the third time that Jesus showed Himself to his disciples, after He was risen from the dead. So when they had dined, Jesus said to Simon Peter, …lovest thou me? … Peter was grieved because he said unto him the third time Lovest thou me? Peter said, Lord, knows all things; thou know that I love thee. Jesus said to him, ‘Feed my sheep‘ ‘Truly, I say to you, when you were younger you used to gird yourself and walk wherever you wished: but when you grow old you will stretch out your hands, and someone else will gird you, and bring you where you do not wish to go’ This He said, signifying by what death he should glorify God, and when He had spoken this He said to him, ‘FOLLOW ME!” John 21:9-19
