「軟弱、失敗」,「灰心、沮喪」…是舊造生命常有的光景
(I) “Weakness,
failure”, “discouraged, despair” … are the conditions
of the old creation
—『我打魚去』,『我們也和你同去』
“I am
going fishing”, “We are going with you also” (John 21:3)
—『那一夜並沒有打著什麼』
“That night they caught
nothing” (John 21:3)
—
明明『是主』,卻認不出,不敢問也不敢認(V 7,12)
Obviously “It is the
Lord”, yet the disciples did not recognize, or dared ask or acknowledge (John
21:7, 12)

will not quench”

“Children, have you any
food?” (John 21:5)
—『他們上了岸,就看見那裡有炭火,上面有魚,又有餅…主耶穌就來
拿餅和魚給他們』(v 9,13)
“Then, as soon as they
had come to land, they saw a fire of coals there,
and fish laid on it, and bread… Jesus then came and took the
bread and gave it to them, and likewise the fish. “(John 21:9, 13)

我們的大祭司並非不能體恤我們的軟弱…』(來4:15)

High Priest who cannot sympathize with our weaknesses …” (Hebrews 4:15)

Peter’s faith in Him – let him truly know “Christ is the Lord of all”
—重建彼得與祂的關係 —『和彼得』(可16:7) 與『你愛我比這些更深嗎?』
Rebuilt Peter’s relationship with Him – “and
Peter” (Mark 16:7) and “Do you love Me more than these?” (John 21:15)
—重建彼得人生的使命 —『你餵養我的小羊!』,『你牧養我的羊!』
Rebuilt Peter’s life commission - “Feed My lambs”, “Tend My sheep” (John 21:15, 16)
—重建彼得人生的態度 — 不用問『這人將來如何?』,只管忠心跟從主
Rebuilt Peter’s life attitude - no need to
ask “But Lord, what about this man?” just follow the Lord faithfully
