Summary: It is possible to focus on what appears to be the main event of a gospel story and miss the subtle but important message around the event. This is true as we read about the large number of fish the disciples caught with Jesus in their boat. There is so much more to this story. Trying the story on for ourselves by role playing the various people in the crowd and even Simon in his boat may help to bring some of these messages to the surface. |

Summary: Paul was compelled to pass on an important message: that Jesus died for our sins, was buried and on the third day was raised from the dead. Like a game of “hot potato,” that message is passed on to us who in turn must pass it on to others. In the same way that Paul could take ownership of being an Apostle with a capital “A” by the grace of God, we are apostles with the same mission. |

Summary: Jesus told us that “Blessed are you who weep now, for you will laugh.” For Christians, that is a great truth. We, like most, will indeed have times of sorrow and hurt. But because we believe in a God who wills the best for each of us, we can look beyond our tears to our times of happiness. God grants us joy in the midst of our pain. We know, without question, that we can never be separated from the love of God. So be of good cheer. We are winners after all. |
