After Life: Do You Need Jesus For What You Are Doing? | Jared Davis

Ever feel like you're working hard for God but somehow missing Him in the process? Jesus met His disciples after a long, fruitless night of fishing and asked them to throw their nets on the other side. When they obeyed, they couldn't haul in the catch—153 fish that should have torn their nets but didn't.
Here's the powerful truth: Peter had denied Jesus three times. Yet Jesus didn't reject him—He made him breakfast. Then He asked three times, "Do you love me?" Three questions for three denials. Not to shame Peter, but to restore him. Jesus transformed Peter from working FOR Him to following WITH Him.
The question for us today: Do we need Jesus for what we're doing? Or are we so busy doing good things that we've stopped abiding in Him? Jesus doesn't just want servants—He calls us friends. He invites us to sit at His table, to know His heart, to join what He's already doing.
Stop working for Jesus. Start following Him.
