Again

Jesus revealed himself again to his disciples at the Sea of Tiberias. He revealed himself in this way. John 21:1

He reveals himself everyday to her.

He is the man in the movie, “50 First Dates.” When he was courting the woman he adore, he has to introduce himself to her each date. When they began to have a serious relationship, he has to remind her all over again abut they being together. So, when they finally tied the knot and each time she wakes up, he reminds him to play a video of their loving family. He never got tired of doing these revelations each day. He lived through all these revealing himself again and again for he loved her.
John reveals about Jesus’ revelation of himself again.

Jesus revealed himself just recently to the disciples. He revealed himself to Mary of Magdala. He revealed himself to the walking disciples towards Emmaus. And yet, he revealed himself again. He never gets tired of showing himself to his people. He lives to show his presence to his disciples. He lives to assure his followers he is always on their side.

Jesus reveals himself to us in our highs and lows. In matters we can see or tor can’t see. In everything we understand or don’t understand. In sickness or health. In prosperity or lack. In unity or vision. In various ways we can think of or we have never imagined. He assures us of his constant presence in our lives. He gives us the gift of his love and his existence to us every step of the way. Each moment. Each day. Every trial. Every challenge. Every victory. Every failure. He makes sure we know he is with us.

Thus Jesus reveals himself again. And again. And again.
