Re:Verse passage – John 21:1-19 (day three)
“None of the disciples ventured to question him, “Who are you?” knowing that it was the Lord.”
One might capture the disciples’ experience with this question: how is this even happening right now? They were grappling with the dawning of this long-promised age of history. Once, dead people stayed dead. Now, they no longer do. What was once impossible is now possible. If Jesus — publicly condemned, sentenced, and executed — now lives and breathes, what else that was hopeless now has hope? Indeed, what good thing is ever beyond reach again? It has taken 2000 years to take it all in, and even now it seems unreal sometimes. But 2000 years has also shown that this gospel will not fade. You really can count on this good news.
