A window or a wall from John 21:1

In John 21:1 the key to this chapter then is to be found in the very first verse where we are told by John, “in this way He showed Himself” or as some have put it “Jesus shone forth”.

Jesus wasn’t playing “hide and go seek” with these disciples, He continually wanted to make Himself visible to them but in ways that would transform them.

Friends that ought to be the desire of our hearts whenever we gather together, whenever we approach His throne of grace in prayer, whenever we open His word, “Lord show yourself to me and if there be anything in my heart or life that would limit my vision of You remove it”.

I’m very aware as a teacher of God’s Word that I could very easily be an obstruction rather than a window with regard to you seeing Jesus. Every time when someone tells me that the illustration was funny or the story was good I ask the Lord to forgive me because I blocked His view.

Oh how wonderful that Jesus desires to show Himself to us again today right now at this very moment in your life.
