Broken relationships hurt the most when it’s someone you love.
But when the morning was now come, Jesus stood on the shore: but the disciples knew not that it was Jesus. John 21:4
In John 21, we see where Jesus comes to the disciples after His resurrection. They had been fishing all night but to no avail. He was standing on the shore and said, cast your nets on the other side. Now, they didn’t know it was Jesus but yet they did what the “man” said. It was only after they pulled up a multitude of fish that Peter said, “It is the Lord.” They had lost touch of Who they had spent three and a half years with. They didn’t know His voice, His physique, or His mannerisms. How could it be?
Even Mary Magdalene in John 20, had a face to face with Jesus after His resurrection and she didn’t know who He was. She saw Him up close and personal. He talked with her face to face but yet she didn’t even know the man that had once healed her of seven devils. How can it be?
That is exactly what Jesus had to say about the church at Laodicea; “I know thy works, that thou art neither cold nor hot: I would thou wert cold or hot. So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spue thee out of my mouth.” Revelation 3:15-16
When we take the Lord for granted, forgetting what He has done for us, and we don't share it with others, we lose the connection with our Saviour we once had!
How is your walk with the Lord? Have you lost connection? Have you a broken relationship? Have you ever had one? Repent and turn to the One who has given everything that you might have life and have it more abundant!
