Several details are interesting in this scene.
First, it takes place on the north shore of the Sea of Galilee – the same area where Jesus had miraculously fed the crowd with the loaves and fishes.
Second, at the Last Supper (in Luke’s Gospel), the disciples squabbled about who was the most important. Jesus, using the image of a waiter, said to them: “Who is greater: The one seated at table or the one waiting on him? Yet, I am here among you as the one who serves.”
That’s exactly what he’s doing now. He cooked their breakfast.
This is the Jesus who died, rose from the dead, and ascended to glory. And here he is, like a mother taking care of her children.
Jesus constantly reaches out to me, extends his graced love to me. He wants only to care for me, help me, heal me, forgive me.
There are times when I especially need to be cared for.
By Jesus.
