Come

“Come and have breakfast.”

Fish and loaves. 

Common meal of fishermen. Little boys. Multitudes.

And a meaningful offering by the risen Savior.

Resurrected

Resurrected. Standing in their midst. 

Jesus, the crucified. 

Still bearing marks of nails in his hands and feet, the cut of a spear’s entry in his side.

Jesus, who died on the cross. Was buried in a tomb. Now risen. And right before their eyes.

The disciples see. And believe.

Truly, truly

“Truly, truly, I say to you….” 

After dark. Nicodemus seeks answers. Away from the crowds. And fellow religious leaders.

And Jesus says, “Truly, truly, I say to you, unless one is born again he cannot see the kingdom of God” (John 3:3).

Startling words to a learned Pharisee. Ruler among the Jews.

“How…?” (John 3:4).
