John 21:1-14 | Breakfast on the Beach
The view of God as one who is wholly other and holy righteous judge are true--but God is also the one primarily revealed to us in Jesus. In his post-resurrection appearance to the disciples on the beach in Galilee, we see Jesus as the risen Lord who is playful, joyful, fun. When we don't see the full personality of Jesus, we risk missing out on all that God is inviting us to in life.

He commissions them to live out God's post-Resurrection purpose for them and he breathes on them to bestow the gift of the Holy Spirit. In a scene that recalls Genesis 1-2, Jesus is dong an act of new-creation among them and calls them and us to live out of that new-creation.

Psalm 126
Restore our Fortunes, the Psalmist cries, that we may shout for Joy once again. What keeps us from joy, how do we seek joy in ways that will not fulfill and how do we tap into the joy that God offers us through the restoration that is in Jesus Christ?
