Lesson 3 Heart's Clothing
1. Love clothes
(John 21:1) After that Jesus revealed himself again to the disciples at the sea of Tiberias, and these were the manifestations.
(John 21:2) Simon Peter and Thomas called Didymus, Nathanael of Cana in Galilee, the sons of Zebedee, and two other disciples were with them.
(John 21:3) Simon Peter said, “I am going fishing.” They said that we would go together. They went out and got into the boat, but they caught nothing that night.
(John 21:4) At dawn, Jesus was standing by the seashore, but the disciples did not know that it was Jesus.
(John 21:5) Jesus said to them, “Children, do you have meat?” He answered, “No.
(John 21:6) He said to them, "Cast your net on the right side of the boat, and you will find it." Then they threw it, and the net was too much to lift.
(John 21:7) The disciple whom Jesus loved said to Peter, “It is Lord.” Simon Peter was naked, and when he heard the word “Lord,” he put on his robe and jumped into the sea.
(John 21:8) The other disciples got into small boats and brought fish nets because they had only been living on land for about fifty hours.
(John 21:9) When they got to the land, they found a charcoal fire, and fish were placed on it, and there was bread.
(John 21:10) Jesus said to him, “Bring me some of the fish you have caught now.”
(John 21:11) Simon Peter went up and drew the net on dry land, and it was full of great fish a hundred and fifty-three. So many, but the net was not torn.
(John 21:12) Jesus said to him, "Come and eat breakfast." No one dared to ask who you are, because they knew that the disciples had given it to them.
(John 21:13) Jesus went and took bread and gave it to them, and did the same with the fish.
(John 21:14) This was the third time Jesus appeared to the disciples after he rose from the dead.
(John 21:15) After they had had breakfast, Jesus said to Simon Peter, “Simon, son of John, do you love me more than these?” He said, “Yes, Lord, you know that I love you.” tell me to feed
(John 21:16) And he said the second time, "Simon, son of John, do you love me?" He said, "Yes, Lord. You know that I love you." He said, "Feed my sheep."
(John 21:17) The third time he said to him, Simon son of John, do you love me? For the third time the Lord said, Do you love me, Peter was troubled and said, "Lord, you know all things, and you know that I love you." feed my sheep
(John 21:18) Truly, truly, I say to you, when you were young you girded yourself and went wherever you wanted; but when you are old, I will stretch out my arms, and another will gird you and take you where you do not want to go
(John 21:19) These words were meant to indicate what kind of death Peter was to glorify God.

Jesus came
After Jesus was crucified and buried, the disciples returned to their original lives as fishermen. He went to the Sea of Tiberias, that is, the Sea of Galilee, and was fishing. But the problem was that they threw their nets all night and couldn't catch any fish. But Jesus came there. That's right. Jesus comes to the scene of our painful life and helps us.
Jesus told his disciples to cast their nets on the right side of the boat, and when the disciples obeyed that word, they caught 153 fish, so many that the nets were torn. Jesus is the Lord who comes to the field of our lives and fills our needs abundantly.
In addition, Jesus prepared breakfast for his disciples and had them eat bread and grilled fish. He filled their hungry stomachs. All of these things show the Lord of amazing love who comes to us first and loves us first, and imitates that love.
We too bless those around us to live a life that leads them to the Lord of love by visiting the painful lives of those around us, practicing the love of the Lord to meet their needs, revealing the love of the Lord.
asking for love
The Lord, who first showed love like this, asks Peter. “Do you love me more than these people?” What Jesus asked of Peter was love. For a person, love is the most important element of a person, who dedicates everything to the object of love.
In fact, when a man and a woman meet and marry, they swear an oath of love. Through him, we promise to live a life dedicated to each other and live as it is. You will enjoy happiness in it, and this love will lead to the love of parents and children, and the love between friends.
In the same way, the Lord requires that we love Him above all else. “Do you love me more than these people?” The reason we love the Lord more than anyone else is that when we do, we can learn the love of the Lord and love others rightly with the love of the Lord.
shepherd's life
That's right. If you love the Lord the most, you should live by doing what the Lord asks of you. It means living the life of a shepherd as the saying goes, “Feed my lambs and feed my sheep!”
positive meaning
In order to live the life of a shepherd, we must first consider what kind of circumstances the sheep we need to shepherd are. Jesus saw many people as sheep without a shepherd, suffering and wandering. So he took pity on them. The need of many is first and foremost a shepherd. It's not a wealthy movie. When you meet the shepherd, you will discover the Lord who is the way, and you will no longer wander, and you will live a blessed and prosperous life under the guidance of the shepherd.
domestication
Lambs are also young and need more care. It takes a lot of hard work and sacrifice. Prayer, evangelism, nurturing, and nurture We need to teach each and every room, and help us to live a tamed life as the Lord's disciple. In particular, God does not want one of the little ones to be lost. He said that to satisfy the hunger and thirst of the little one is to satisfy the hunger and thirst of God. We will cherish each and every one of them and serve and care for them as if we were the Lord.
For this purpose, we have changed the class structure from today. With the principle that children belong to their parents, I ask parents to help them to make disciples of the Lord by risking their lives to shepherd their children, and to shepherd their children's friends and their children for the rest of their lives to become disciples of the Lord.
So, I pray that all of us will live the life of a shepherd teacher who risk our lives to make disciples, so that we can all grow deeper and deeper in our love for the Lord while both parents and children are shepherding.
