“Just after daybreak, Jesus stood on the beach; but the disciples did not know that it was Jesus. Jesus said to them, ‘Children, you have no fish, have you?’ They answered him, ‘No.’ He said to them, ‘Cast the net to the right side of the boat, and you will find some.” So they cast it, and now they were not able to haul it in because there were so many fish...When they had gone ashore, they saw a charcoal fire there with fish on it, and bread. Jesus said to them, ‘Bring some of the fish that you have just caught.’ So Simon Peter went aboard and hauled the net ashore, full of large fish, a hundred fifty-three of them; and though there were so many, the net was not torn. Jesus said to them, ‘Come and have breakfast.’...Jesus came and took the bread and gave it to them, and did the same with the fish.”
The disciples had gone back to their lives pre-Jesus calling them to follow Him. Jesus shows up unexpectedly in their lives again, but this time to cook breakfast. Yet again we see Him humbly serving. After dying for our sins, defeating death, and rising again, Jesus unassumingly participates in the routine-ness of being human. He is Savior of the world yet serves His disciples in this simple way. Likewise, we are called to love and serve humbly as Jesus did. It doesn’t have to be complicated, but could be as simple as serving someone breakfast. There is an overwhelming amount of need in this world, but never forget to serve those you meet in your daily life in simple, but super meaningful ways!
Prayer: Father God, thank you for humbling yourself for us, for serving in so many different ways everyday of your life, and for calling us to do the same. Give us the strength and the wisdom to do so, to your glory. AMEN!!
