b'After two weeks of Easter Q&As (here & here), we are back to the lectionary! It\\u2019s really easy to get swept up in the moment of a movement \\u2014 whether that\\u2019s for Jesus or justice (or both!). But at some point, the luster fades and the hard work begins. Then what? Are you really in it?\\nMentioned in this episode\\n\\nArticles & podcast eps for people who want to work in solidarity with LGBTQ+ people here here here\\nYou might be crucified\\n\\nJohn 21:1-19\\nLater, Jesus himself appeared again to his disciples at the Sea of Tiberias. This is how it happened: Simon Peter, Thomas (called Didymus), Nathanael from Cana in Galilee, Zebedee\\u2019s sons, and two other disciples were together. Simon Peter told them, \\u201cI\\u2019m going fishing.\\u201d\\nThey said, \\u201cWe\\u2019ll go with you.\\u201d They set out in a boat, but throughout the night they caught nothing. Early in the morning, Jesus stood on the shore, but the disciples didn\\u2019t realize it was Jesus.\\nJesus called to them, \\u201cChildren, have you caught anything to eat?\\u201d\\nThey answered him, \\u201cNo.\\u201d\\nHe said, \\u201cCast your net on the right side of the boat and you will find some.\\u201d\\nSo they did, and there were so many fish that they couldn\\u2019t haul in the net. Then the disciple whom Jesus loved said to Peter, \\u201cIt\\u2019s the Lord!\\u201d When Simon Peter heard it was the Lord, he wrapped his coat around himself (for he was naked) and jumped into the water. The other disciples followed in the boat, dragging the net full of fish, for they weren\\u2019t far from shore, only about one hundred yards.\\nWhen they landed, they saw a fire there, with fish on it, and some bread. Jesus said to them, \\u201cBring some of the fish that you\\u2019ve just caught.\\u201d Simon Peter got up and pulled the net to shore. It was full of large fish, one hundred fifty-three of them. Yet the net hadn\\u2019t torn, even with so many fish. Jesus said to them, \\u201cCome and have breakfast.\\u201d None of the disciples could bring themselves to ask him, \\u201cWho are you?\\u201d They knew it was the Lord. Jesus came, took the bread, and gave it to them. He did the same with the fish. This was now the third time Jesus appeared to his disciples after he was raised from the dead.\\nWhen they finished eating, Jesus asked Simon Peter, \\u201cSimon son of John, do you love me more than these?\\u201d\\nSimon replied, \\u201cYes, Lord, you know I love you.\\u201d\\nJesus said to him, \\u201cFeed my lambs.\\u201d Jesus asked a second time, \\u201cSimon son of John, do you love me?\\u201d\\nSimon replied, \\u201cYes, Lord, you know I love you.\\u201d\\nJesus said to him, \\u201cTake care of my sheep.\\u201d 1He asked a third time, \\u201cSimon son of John, do you love me?\\u201d\\nPeter was sad that Jesus asked him a third time, \\u201cDo you love me?\\u201d He replied, \\u201cLord, you know everything; you know I love you.\\u201d\\nJesus said to him, \\u201cFeed my sheep. I assure you that when you were younger you tied your own belt and walked around wherever you wanted. When you grow old, you will stretch out your hands and another will tie your belt and lead you where you don\\u2019t want to go.\\u201d He said this to show the kind of death by which Peter would glorify God. After saying this, Jesus said to Peter, \\u201cFollow me.\\u201d\\nPhoto by jesse orrico\\nThe post What happens when the excitement fades? \\u2013 John 21:1-19 appeared first on Queer Theology.'
