‘Meeting Jesus – in the ordinary ’

I wonder where you might expect to encounter/meet Jesus? – Church – Conference or Event – Prayer – Beautiful spot – the sick bed of a loved one – in a crisis….  Imagine him turning up at our place or work, the club we meet our friends, whilst we are doing jobs around the house.

Our Resurrection encounters happen in all sorts of places – tomb, garden, upper room, dusty road – Sea of Galilee.

Today, we are going to read from John 21:1-6.  Some of the disciples have gone fishing.  Perhaps they are still lost, still confused – Jesus has appeared, but then he quickly disappears again.  So perhaps, they naturally return to what they think they know – what they think they are good at.
