Connected to Jesus we are amazingly productive.
1) Self-exertion yields nothing. (1-3)
2) Listening to Jesus yields much. (4-14)
What has eternal significance?
Making, maturing, and multiplying disciples.
April 14, 2024 • Blair Cushman • John 21:1–14
No one who encounters the risen Christ stays the same. The risen Christ… 1) comforts the grieving. (11-16) 2) commissions the glad. (17-23) What do I say? - Jesus is alive! - I have seen Jesus at work. - Jesus will forgive you. 3) convinces the skeptical. (24-29)
Jesus intentionally gave His life so that I could have mine. 1) Proclaim Him as King. (17-22) 2) Prophecy fulfilled about Him (23-24, 28-37) Psalm 22:18 Psalm 69:21 Psalm 34:20 Zechariah 12:10 3) People present around Him. (25-27, 38-42)
