CAN YOU SEE THE LOVE=IT IS JESUS

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

CAN YOU SEE THE LOVE?=

It is JESUS!

 

AFTER Jesus died=The Disciples did NOT KNOW=what to do=So Peter says

He is GOING FISHING=Thinking he was GETTING BACK to what he knew=and it

WOULD Give him TIME=To think about the last week=and PROCESS THOSE EVENTS=

Some one of the Disciples went with him=and ONE of them was JOHN=(“THE DISCIPLE whom

Jesus LOVED”)!

 

There was a man=STANDING on the seashore=But the disciples=did not RECOGNIZE HIM=After a night=OF CATCHING NOTHING=They are FRUSTRATED and heading for home=That man=Jesus=

Says=”GIVE IT one more try”=John RECOGNIZES him and says=”IT IS THE LORD”           John 21:7

Jesus tells them to GIVE it one more try=and they WIND up Catching more fish=Than they

CAN put in the boat=They CANNOT believe it!=CAN YOU SEE THE LOVE?=IT IS JESUS!

 

And ISN’T THAT the way=It is IN LIFE=for all of us=at TIMES?=WHEN we are CONFRONTED with health problems=With financial pressures=Or have RELATIONSHIP ISSUES?=Could we NOT=

ALL use a friend like John?=Pointing the WAY=to our God=to our Jesus?=A friend telling us=

“KEEP THE FAITH=It is THE LORD=and  HE HAS THIS!”=CAN YOU=Feel the LOVE of our Jesus?=

WE all NEED a FRIEND=Like the Apostle John=WE all need OUR Lord!=to get by

“And whoever=Does NOT carry their cross=and FOLLOW ME=Cannot be my DISCIPLE”   Luke 14:23

“To the Jews =who had believed him=’=Jesus said=’If you hold to my teaching=You are really

MY DISCIPLES=Then you will know the truth=and the TRUTH=will set you free’”          John 8:31-32

“So for a whole year=Barnabas and Saul=Met with the Church=and taught great numbers of=

People=THE DISCIPLES were fist called Christians at Antioch”                                                     Acts 11:26

 

And so Peter=MISSED the Lord=But John=POINTED out Jesus to him=We all NEED SOMEONE=

To FILL the ROLE of John in our life=For at TIMES=during our life=We all TURN AWAY  from our Lord=

We all get LOST=and we NEED to feel the HAND OF our Lord=In our lives=CAN YOU SEE=

The LOVE between Peter and John?=Between them and the other APOSTLES=and between=

Jesus and all of them=ALL OF US?=IT IS JESUS!

 

 

Dear Lord=WE PRAY=Help us to be=ON THE LOOKOUT for you=In our lives=and HELP us to=

FIND YOUR PRESENCE=When you are there=and POINT OUT to others=WHEN we FIND you Jesus=

In our lives

“But if from there=You seek The LORD your God=You will FIND HIM=if you Seek him with=All

Your heart=and with all your soul”                                                                                               Deuteronomy 4:29

“Do not those=Who plot evil=Go astray?=But those who plan=What is good=FIND Love

And faithfulness”                                                                                                                                  Proverbs 14:22

“This is what the Lord says’=’Stand at the  crossroads and look=Ask for the ancient paths=

And you WILL FIND REST=for your souls=……..’”                                                                     Jeremiah 6:16

Dear LORD=we pray that=When we ARE LOST=In our everyday lives=and CANNOT FIND YOU=

We have  SOMEONE who we love=To POINT you out to us=Just like John did for Peter=and

THE OTHER APOSTLES=and we OPEN our eyes=and FIND you there=IN THE PRESENCE=Of

Our lives=and RECOGNIZE YOU!=Can you SEE THE LOVE?=IT IS JESUS!

 

In Jesus’ name=and in the name=of our ever loving=OUR EVER LIVING=GOD of us all=The

HOLY FATHER GOD!
