John 21:1-3

John 21:1-3
English Standard Version (ESV)

  Let's just say you've been handed the world's greatest truth, the one thing that will ultimately change history, alter the way we look and death and assure us that we have an eternal hope that is gifted to us by the Creator who handcrafted us.  What would you do?
  Oh, I'd probably get my friends and go fishing.  What else to do?
  Here's evidence that the disciples didn't immediately figure everything out.  Even when the resurrected Savior shows up and illustrates his mastery over death, they're still clearly uncertain as to what to do with this knowledge.  They go back to fishing, back to what they know.  It's probably some mixture of uncertainty and fear, but they revert back to what they did before they knew Jesus, clearly unready to go tell the world about this incredible new revelation.
  So don't give yourself such a hard time when you're uncertain of exactly what God is calling you to do with your life.  The disciples saw the literal resurrected Jesus and then went fishing all night.  It's ok for you and I to spend some time in discernment and confusion as well.  Jesus is still at work -- and everything depends on him!
