on John 21 ( Jesus calling to the disciples in the boat)
point 1: Peter was ready for an opportunity to redeem himself and had no clue if it would ever come about....
point 2: Jesus asked Peter & the others if they had a clue what they were doing; fishing, that is, while tossing their nets on the wrong side of the boat ( while all the time they just knew they were doing it the right way)
point 3: when Jesus asks, insistently ( and annoyingly, to many) "do you love me?"- he may well be asking this because he himself really needs the affirmation. After all, following the resurrection, Jesus might have been a little lonely, looking for a friend-- someone who would stick with him for a while, don't you think?
point 4 & onward -- nice inspirational words; good enough of a message for me!
