1. RECOGNIZING JESUS (a) “It is the Lord” – the beloved disciple (probably John) recognized Jesus - it is vital that you know the risen Lord in your life! - see Phil.3:10 (b) Peter – “when he...sea” – he tied up his outer garment to help him swim - had had led the fishing expedition and now he leads the dash to Jesus!
2. PUTTING JESUS FIRST - recognition of Jesus leads us to direct our life and work towards him - only as we recognize and know him will we direct our work “unto” him!
3. FELLOWSHIP WITH JESUS (a) a meal ready for them – a meal together signified sharing and fellowship - note Jesus prepared it – the risen Jesus arranges feeding for his people! - they are tired after toil, but are now invited by him to rest and take food (b) “Come...breakfst” – Jesus is now risen and yet he shares with the disciples. They are taught the need for nourishment ahead of mission! – we too! - Gospel “meals” are not for an elite. These disciples were a mixed bunch! (c) “they knew it was the Lord” – note “none of the disciples dared ask him”! They were under the influence of a holy wonder - silence is appropriate!
