Read John 21:1-25

1 这事以后,耶稣在提比哩亚海边又向门徒显现, and he revealed himself in this way. 2 Simon Peter, Thomas (called the Twin), Nathanael of Cana in Galilee, the sons of Zebedee, 又有两个门徒在一起. 3 西门彼得对他们说,我打鱼去.他们说、我们与你同去.他们就出去,上了船,那一夜并没有打着什么.

4 Just as day was breaking, Jesus stood on the shore; yet the disciples did not know that it was Jesus. 5 耶稣对他们说、孩子们、你们有鱼没有?” They answered him, “No.” 6 耶稣对他们说、你们把网撒在船的右边、就必得著.他们就把鱼抛出去、却不能拉上来、因为鱼多. 7 耶稣所爱的那门徒对彼得说、是主!西门彼得听见是主, he put on his outer garment, for he was stripped for work, and threw himself into the sea. 8 The other disciples came in the boat, dragging the net full of fish, for they were not far from the land, but about a hundred yards off.

9 他们上了岸,就看见那里有炭火,上面摆着鱼,还有饼. 10 耶稣对他们说、把刚才打的鱼拿几条来.” 11 西门彼得就上船,把那网拉到岸上,那网满了大鱼,共一百五十三条. 鱼虽多,网却没有破. 12 耶稣对他们说、你们来吃早饭.门徒中没有一个敢问他、你是谁?” They knew it was the Lord. 13 耶稣来拿饼给他们,鱼也照样给他们. 14 耶稣从死里复活以后,向门徒显现,这是第三次.

15 When they had finished breakfast, Jesus said to Simon Peter, “Simon, son of John, do you love me more than these?” He said to him, “Yes, Lord; you know that I love you.” He said to him, “Feed my lambs.” 16 耶稣第二次对他说、约翰的儿子西门、你爱我么?” He said to him, “Yes, Lord; you know that I love you.” He said to him, “Tend my sheep.” 17 耶稣第三次对他说、约翰的儿子西门、你爱我么?彼得心里忧愁,因为耶稣第三次对他说,你爱我吗?” and he said to him, “Lord, you know everything; you know that I love you.” Jesus said to him, “Feed my sheep. 18 Truly, truly, I say to you, when you were young, 你以前自己穿衣服,想去哪就去哪, but when you are old, you will stretch out your hands, 另一个人会给你穿上衣服,带你去你不愿意去的地方.” 19 (耶稣说这话,是要表明自己将怎样死,荣耀神.耶稣说了这话,就对他说,你跟从我吧.”

20 彼得转过身来,看见耶稣所爱的门徒跟着他们, 那个在晚餐时靠在他身上说, “Lord, who is it that is going to betray you?” 21 彼得看见他、就问耶稣说、主阿、这人怎样?” 22 耶稣对他说、我若愿意他等到我来、与你何干? You follow me!” 23 So the saying spread abroad among the brothers that this disciple was not to die; yet Jesus did not say to him that he was not to die, but, 我若愿意叫他等到我来, what is that to you?”

24 为这些事作见证的,就是这门徒, and who has written these things, 我们也知道他的见证是真的.

25 耶稣还做了许多其他的事. Were every one of them to be written, 我想这个世界本身容不下将要写出来的书.

Our Lord is good and gracious. With each resurrection appearance, 我们看到耶稣如何从不同的方面重新聚集他分散的羊群, heal sorrows, speak peace, fill with the Spirit, 并使他们照他所愿借着他们所行的去行.

Three times Peter denied Jesus. 耶稣三次问彼得:“你爱我吗??” The first two times, 耶稣问彼得是否以牺牲的方式爱他, 最后一次问彼得是否像朋友一样爱他. Surely Peter was right when he responded, “Lord you know everything; you know that I love you.”

Why does Jesus press so hard on Peter? 耶稣促使彼得诚实地面对自己的人性,以防止他依靠自己或其他任何东西. He invites Peter to trust in him alone. Jesus’ grace was already there. 神已经完成了使彼得和好的工作. But Jesus had much more in store.

Sin can bring a double calamity. 首先是罪本身,它在我们的生活和人际关系中造成不和. 还有就是我们的罪和内疚总是摆在我们面前. 这诱使我们怀疑自己是否已经在基督里复活获得新生命. 我们的罪会使我们无法完成神要通过我们完成的工作. 一旦我们真的被定罪,我们常常发现很难放手. This not from God!

对于每一个罪,耶稣都宣告:“你得赦免了,我救赎了你。.他继续带着仁慈的怜悯说:“相信我。. Rely on me. 我在别人的生活中有很多事要我们一起做. Follow me.”

Prayer:“Lord, You know everything; you know that I love you.“帮助我永远紧紧抓住你,跟随你,无论你带领我到哪里。. Amen.
