“Now come and have some breakfast!” Jesus said. None of the disciples dared to ask him, “Who are you?” They knew it was the Lord. John 21:12
Happy Groundhog Day to you. An advertisement e-mail also wishes me a Happy Working Naked Day. I think a majority of us are not quite ready for that sort of change, at least not that quickly, and it would pose a great risk to some precious body parts to do that in some jobs. Speaking of working naked, or in undergarments, one particular fisherman of our acquaintance was doing just that on a lovely day in Galilee when a change walked up along the seashore. Now this man had changed very quickly from stone-cold dead to alive and walking about. His disciples were having trouble processing that quick change, and there was something about His appearance that left even close associates struggling to recognize Him, er, the risen Him. It is not stated in the Gospel just what about the risen Savior was so different, but it shows in every meeting with Him from Mary Magdalene just outside the tomb, to the believers on the way to Emmaus, to the fishing disciples on the Sea of Galilee. The fishermen knew it was Him from the actions, but His appearance left them not daring to ask. What was it about Him? I guess we'll just have to dare to ask when we see Him!
Love and patience in Christ our Lord!
