He held no office, discussed no legislation, didn’t “rule” over anybody, said nothing about partisan issues. But the establishment feared him. Pastor Elisabeth explores Peter’s and the other disciple’s encounter with the Risen Jesus while fishing in Galilee. Jesus tells Peter 3 times, that if he loves Him, he must feed His sheep. Throughout Jesus’ ministry, He is eating in community, feeding the hungry, and telling followers that taking care of the distressed, was part of loving him. As a congregation, we help feed the hungry in several ways, and on this day we wrote lettes to support hunger- reducing programs as part of Bread for the World’s advocacy. There is a lovely choir piece at the end but you will want to turn up your volume a bit.
