Are you stuck in grief—looking back on old memories like that’s all you have left? There’s this moment in John 21 that’s easy to miss. Jesus has already risen. He’s walking around in a real, resurrected body—one like we’ll have one day if we’re in Him. Paul even calls Him the firstborn from the dead, the preview of what’s coming for us. And in this new body, what does Jesus do? He eats. Not because He’s weak or needs calories—but because there’s joy in sharing a meal. He draws close to His disciples. Not because He’s lonely—but because love delights in presence. This is the future for every believer. Not floating on clouds. Not stuck in memories. But real life, full of joy and fellowship and purpose. So don’t live staring in the rearview mirror. Look to Christ! If you’re in Him, the best isn’t behind you. It’s ahead. #grangersmithpodcast
