This text is from a sermon titled "Who are you?" delivered by Father Bob Wismer at St. Francis Episcopal Church. He opens with a prayer and then introduces the sermon's central question, "Who are you?", relating it to the well-known "Star Wars" moment of mistaken identity and the story of Saint Monica recognizing the true nature of her son, Saint Augustine. Father Wismer analyzes a Biblical passage from the Gospel of John, where Jesus appears to his disciples after a fruitless night of fishing, highlighting their inability to recognize him until they follow his instructions and achieve an abundant catch, thus demonstrating that their efforts without Jesus are ineffective. He connects this miraculous catch to Jesus providing a meal on the shore, symbolizing his provision and continued fellowship, and also discusses Peter's restoration by Jesus over a charcoal fire, a parallel to Peter's earlier denial. Finally, the sermon touches upon a passage from Revelation depicting heavenly worship and concludes with Jesus' invitation to follow him, emphasizing that this act leads to a fuller understanding of both Jesus and oneself, enabling believers to be empowered by the Holy Spirit to love and serve.
