Reflections of Richard Serrin on painting,
Christ Appears to the Disciples After the Resurrection, John 21:4-19

“Do you love me more than these?” Jesus asks Peter. Surely he does not mean the men with whom Peter fishes, for Peter should love all unqualifiedly. Nor would Jesus ask a question that seems to have no rational reply.

Jesus has by a miracle just filled the empty net of the futile fishing expedition to overabundance. On the shore he cooks the dawn breakfast using the fish. It can be but to the fish that he refers. The miracle catch is a snare, an enticement the implications of which Peter must resist if he is to be worthy of teaching the disciples when Jesus has departed. It is not with a miraculous catch that Peter is to feed his sheep, but with the miraculous words of God, that we may live in peace with man and nature.

How many Christians, how many churches, have been caught in this snare for the covetous heart by which Christ will test us all?

Richard Serrin
