Easter 3

Lectionary Bible Readings

Acts 9:1-6
Psalm 30
Revelation 5:11-14
John 21:1-19

I stay with the image of Jesus cooking breakfast for his friends. As if he had nothing better to do: couldn’t he go to the Temple to address the crowds, or on Calvary to show them he was alive, so that they believe in him? He chooses to spend time in intimate contact with his friends, preparing them for their mission after his departure, giving them a strong experience of his closeness. Do I give enough time to develop my relationship with Jesus, or am I too busy doing ‘good things’ for him?
