Wrapping up the Gospel of John, we witness a powerful scene of the risen Jesus appearing to the distraught disciples, providing them a miraculous catch of fish. What followed was Jesus renewing a challenge to Peter, and for all His disciples, to follow Him. And coming up, Pastor Brett Meador shares from Today’s Word, our call to trust in God’s plan and purpose for our lives.

John Chapter 21 reveals a powerful moment after Jesus’ resurrection by once again appearing to His disciples at the Sea of Galilee. After a fruitless night of fishing, Jesus arranged for a miraculous catch. But even more than provision, Pastor Brett Meador notes restoration, and the call to faithfulness. In Today’s Word, we’re reminded that even in failure, Jesus offers grace.

In the last chapter of the Gospel John, we witness two poignant scenes between Jesus and His disciples on the shores of the Sea of Galilee. And Pastor Brett Meador notes how it’s through these final object lessons in Today’s Word that Jesus prepares them as the foundation of the church begins to take shape as the disciples are reminded of their calling to be fishers of men.

After fishing all night and catching nothing, the disciples unexpectedly encountered Jesus in John Chapter 21, who bids them to come ashore and eat with Him. But this isn’t the first time Jesus has extended a similar invitation. And coming up on Today’s Word, Pastor Brett Meador considers what Jesus offers us and all we have to gain when we respond to His call to come.

In our continuing study series in the Gospel of John, Pastor Brett Meador has looked at Jesus’ “I Am” statements, and His “sayings on the cross.” But in Today’s Word we’ll learn the significance of three “invitations” of Jesus, beginning with His offer to “come and see” how the joy and contentment we seek isn’t found in any of the world’s offerings, but in a relationship with Him.

In John Chapter 20 we find the uncertain disciples fearfully gathered behind locked doors when Jesus suddenly appears in their midst and transforms their cowardice into courage, and fear into faith. In Today’s Word, Pastor Brett Meador discovers what Jesus did to bring about this change and recognizes that same peace is offered to all who believe . . . in the resurrected Lord.

To the disciples of Jesus, the discovery of an empty tomb initially sparked misunderstanding and doubt. But their encounter with the risen Christ transformed despair into hope, and fear into faith. Drawing from John Chapter 20 in Today’s Word, Pastor Brett Meador invites us too to see beyond the empty tomb, to embrace the transformative power of the resurrection for all who believe.

“Fear not” the angels the at the birth of Jesus, “and on earth peace.” But then one of the first things Jesus would say to His disciples after His resurrection was, Peace be unto you. And as Pastor Brett Meador opens Today’s Word to John Chapter 20, we’ll see that’s the reassuring message the confused and fearful disciples needed after Jesus had risen from the grave.
