John 21
BREAD AND FISH. The labor is expended as day after day, fallow ground is turned Until with suitable texture and water, the sun is able to warm the earth, And the sower goes forth and sows precious seed that he has kept, So that bread to supply the hungry comes out of the soil’s depth.
The sun has not arisen when the fisher leaves the safety of land. He labors on relentlessly until he can take with his own hand The fruit of his toil in storm and wind – to some it is only fish, But without his ceaseless labor, many meals by men would be missed.
From land and sea of God’s creation comes just what we want and need. The “staff of life” to give instant strength, and fish for the whole body to feed – All of earth, both water and land, made by God for mans’ provision, Is there for the taking by every man if each one makes the right decision.
It is unmistakable from the creation beginning to the very end, God has from His fullness for each need we have He did send “Bread and fish” for the body and also full sustenance for the soul That through the Son of God, every person can be made whole
“Father God, I thank Thee for all the ways the Person and work of the Lord Jesus Christ has been revealed in the Gospel of John. His humanity and deity, His eternal Sonship, the fact that He is the Son of God – all of these remind me today of the great privilege of “being found in Christ.” I give Thee my thanks in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, Amen.”
