【约翰福音二十一章1-25节】
1.这些事以后,耶稣在提比哩亚海边又向门徒显现。他怎样显现记在下面:
2.有西门彼得和称为低土马的多马,并加利利的迦拿人拿但业,还有西庇太的两个儿子,又有两个门徒,都在一处。
3.西门彼得对他们说:我打鱼去。他们说:我们也和你同去。他们就出去,上了船;那一夜并没有打着什么。
4.天将亮的时候,耶稣站在岸上,门徒却不知道是耶稣。
5.耶稣就对他们说:小子!你们有吃的没有?他们回答说:没有。
6.耶稣说:你们把网撒在船的右边,就必得着。他们便撒下网去,竟拉不上来了,因为鱼甚多。
7.耶稣所爱的那门徒对彼得说:是主!那时西门彼得赤着身子,一听见是主,就束上一件外衣,跳在海里。
8.其余的门徒离岸不远,约有二百肘(古代以肘为尺,一肘约有今时尺半),就在小船上把那网鱼拉过来。
9.他们上了岸,就看见那里有炭火,上面有鱼,又有饼。
10.耶稣对他们说:把刚才打的鱼拿几条来。
11.西门彼得就去(或作:上船),把网拉到岸上。那网满了大鱼,共一百五十三条;鱼虽这样多,网却没有破。
12.耶稣说:你们来吃早饭。门徒中没有一个敢问他:你是谁?因为知道是主。
13.耶稣就来拿饼和鱼给他们。
14.耶稣从死里复活以后,向门徒显现,这是第三次。
15.他们吃完了早饭,耶稣对西门彼得说:约翰(在太16:17称约拿)的儿子西门,你爱我比这些更深吗?彼得说:主啊,是的,你知道我爱你。耶稣对他说:你喂养我的小羊。
16.耶稣第二次又对他说:约翰的儿子西门,你爱我吗?彼得说:主啊,是的,你知道我爱你。耶稣说:你牧养我的羊。
17.第三次对他说:约翰的儿子西门,你爱我吗?彼得因为耶稣第三次对他说你爱我吗,就忧愁,对耶稣说:主啊,你是无所不知的;你知道我爱你。耶稣说:你喂养我的羊。
18.我实实在在的告诉你,你年少的时候,自己束上带子,随意往来;但年老的时候,你要伸出手来,别人要把你束上,带你到不愿意去的地方。
19.耶稣说这话是指着彼得要怎样死,荣耀神。说了这话,就对他说:你跟从我吧!
20.彼得转过来,看见耶稣所爱的那门徒跟着,(就是在晚饭的时候,靠着耶稣胸膛说:「主啊,卖你的是谁?」的那门徒。)
21.彼得看见他,就问耶稣说:主啊,这人将来如何?
22.耶稣对他说:我若要他等到我来的时候,与你何干?你跟从我吧!
23.于是这话传在弟兄中间,说那门徒不死。其实,耶稣不是说他不死,乃是说:我若要他等到我来的时候,与你何干?
24.为这些事作见证,并且记载这些事的就是这门徒;我们也知道他的见证是真的。
25.耶稣所行的事还有许多,若是一一的都写出来,我想,所写的书就是世界也容不下了。
引言:
主耶稣复活的历史,其真实性经历两千多年的考验乃是一个确凿的事实。没有耶稣基督的复活,就没有基督信仰。没有复活,基督徒就没有盼望。没有复活,永远就是空洞的词汇。
耶稣基督的复活奠定了基督信仰, 复活给失望的门徒带来的生命, 更重要的是耶稣基督的复活复兴了失丧门徒的生命。
重点:
一、复活的主让彼得感到更加亲近( 1-14 节)
1.在耶稣被钉十字架前,彼得要主离开自己
2.主耶稣复活之后, 彼得不顾一切地奔向主
彼得的这两种反应表明了什么?
1)彼得亲眼见到复活的主,他明白他对主认识的有限
2)彼得从自我的认识为标准,开始转向基督为标准
二、复活的主让彼得活在恩典的福音里(15-19节)
耶稣基督复活之后, 他明白了:耶稣爱自己不是因为自己的勇敢,不是因为他的才华,不是因为他敢于献身,不是因为自己的出身,而是因为耶稣是爱,耶稣爱他!
三、复活的主让彼得专注在福音上(20-25节)
1."转", "看", "问"。表达了彼得的好奇和攀比之心(20-21节)
2.一个得救的人最经常犯的错误,就是常常无法专注在福音上。
3.作为基督徒,我们也常常犯一个错误,就是把上帝对自己的恩典和好处拿来与他所得到的恩典和好处比较。
4.我们当得的乃是神永恒的震怒, 我们所领受的最大的恩典就是耶稣基督的生命。
5.我们无需去羡慕和嫉妒任何人, 我们当求那厚赐众人智慧的主。
结语:
1.你是否遇见复活的主, 是否主动来亲近主? 2.是否你的服侍是为了主? 3.是否不断专注与主和他恩典的福音?
Scripture: John 21:1-25
1Afterward Jesus appeared again to his disciples, by the Sea of Galilee. It happened this way: 2Simon Peter, Thomas (also known as Didymus), Nathanael from Cana in Galilee, the sons of Zebedee, and two other disciples were together. 3“I’m going out to fish,” Simon Peter told them, and they said, “We’ll go with you.” So they went out and got into the boat, but that night they caught nothing. 4Early in the morning, Jesus stood on the shore, but the disciples did not realize that it was Jesus. 5He called out to them, “Friends, haven’t you any fish?” “No,” they answered. 6He said, “Throw your net on the right side of the boat and you will find some.” When they did, they were unable to haul the net in because of the large number of fish. 7Then the disciple whom Jesus loved said to Peter, “It is the Lord!” As soon as Simon Peter heard him say, “It is the Lord,” he wrapped his outer garment around him (for he had taken it off) and jumped into the water. 8The other disciples followed in the boat, towing the net full of fish, for they were not far from shore, about a hundred yards. 9When they landed, they saw a fire of burning coals there with fish on it, and some bread. 10Jesus said to them, “Bring some of the fish you have just caught.” 11So Simon Peter climbed back into the boat and dragged the net ashore. It was full of large fish, 153, but even with so many the net was not torn. 12Jesus said to them, “Come and have breakfast.” None of the disciples dared ask him, “Who are you?” They knew it was the Lord. 13Jesus came, took the bread and gave it to them, and did the same with the fish. 14This was now the third time Jesus appeared to his disciples after he was raised from the dead. 15When they had finished eating, Jesus said to Simon Peter, “Simon son of John, do you love me more than these?” “Yes, Lord,” he said, “you know that I love you.” Jesus said, “Feed my lambs.” 16Again Jesus said, “Simon son of John, do you love me?” He answered, “Yes, Lord, you know that I love you.” Jesus said, “Take care of my sheep.” 17The third time he said to him, “Simon son of John, do you love me?” Peter was hurt because Jesus asked him the third time, “Do you love me?” He said, “Lord, you know all things; you know that I love you.” Jesus said, “Feed my sheep. 18Very truly I tell you, when you were younger you dressed yourself and went where you wanted; but when you are old you will stretch out your hands, and someone else will dress you and lead you where you do not want to go.” 19Jesus said this to indicate the kind of death by which Peter would glorify God. Then he said to him, “Follow me!” 20Peter turned and saw that the disciple whom Jesus loved was following them. (This was the one who had leaned back against Jesus at the supper and had said, “Lord, who is going to betray you?”) 21When Peter saw him, he asked, “Lord, what about him?” 22Jesus answered, “If I want him to remain alive until I return, what is that to you? You must follow me.” 23Because of this, the rumor spread among the believers that this disciple would not die. But Jesus did not say that he would not die; he only said, “If I want him to remain alive until I return, what is that to you?” 24This is the disciple who testifies to these things and who wrote them down. We know that his testimony is true. 25Jesus did many other things as well. If every one of them were written down, I suppose that even the whole world would not have room for the books that would be written.
Introduction:
The authenticity of the history of the resurrection of our Lord Jesus has been tested for more than two thousand years and is a conclusive fact. Without the resurrection of Jesus Christ, there would be no Christianity. Without the resurrection, there would be no hope for Christians. Without resurrection, there will always be an empty vocabulary.
The resurrection of Jesus Christ established the Christian faith, it brought life to disappointed disciples. More importantly, the resurrection of Jesus Christ revived the lives of lost disciples.
Focus Points:
I. The risen Lord made Peter feel closer (v. 1-14)
1. Before Jesus was crucified, Peter asked the Lord to leave him
2. After the Lord Jesus was resurrected, Peter ran to the Lord desperately
What do these two reactions of Peter show?
1)Peter saw the resurrected Lord with his own eyes, and he understood his limited knowledge of the Lord
2)Peter started from self-awareness as the standard and turned to Christ as the standard
II. The risen Lord let Peter live in the gospel of grace (v. 15-19)
After the resurrection of Jesus Christ, Peter understood: Jesus loves him not because of his bravery, not because of his talents, not because of his courage to dedicate himself, not because of his family origin, but because Jesus loves him, and Jesus loves him!
III. The resurrected Lord made Peter focus on the gospel (verses 20-25)
1. "Turn", "Look", "Ask". These expressed Peter’s curiosity and competitive heart (verses 20-21)
2. A most common mistake a saved person makes is that he often fails to focus on the gospel.
3. As Christians, we often make the mistake of comparing God's grace and benefit to ourselves with the grace and benefit the others have received.
4. What we deserve is the eternal wrath of God, and the greatest grace we receive is the life of Jesus Christ.
5. We don't need to be envious or jealous of anyone, we should ask the Lord who gives wisdom to all.
Conclusion:
1. Have you met the resurrected Lord, did you take the initiative to get close to the Lord?
2. Is your service for the Lord?
3. Are you constantly focusing on the Lord and His gracious gospel?
