There are no rear view mirrors ...
Soul Snack 51/10 ...The Breakfast Menu
Full bellies, also full of tiredness, slumped almost inattentively across this Galilean beach. An unspecified period of time had elapsed. With increasing slowness these fatigued fishermen processed the entire panorama of miracles they had so recently witnessed.
An empty boat followed by a full net. Failure had now morphed into success. Hunger replaced by satisfaction and chilling cold with sufficient warmth. He who had denied his master thrice now restored as his master's right hand man. Overwhelmed, these men of fractured faith begin a rumour, (vs 22-23). Even amidst the miraculous the carnal will still arise.
Yet sailing high above any rumour, restoration or opinion is delivered the unshakeable command ...
"... you must follow me!" (John 21:22c)
There are no shades of grey to this imperative. There are no rear view mirrors to His call. Options of flight are unavailable and distractions not permitted.
To breakfast with Jesus is to admit His 'must'!
No room for indecision, compromise or slackness.
He who cooks breakfast calls across breakfast.
He who eats breakfast with Jesus is chosen.
Those who eat with Jesus have also, indeed already, chosen too for Him.
When I breakfast with Jesus, His 'must' is the only item on my menu.
