What happened on Monday?

Greetings to you each in the name of Jesus the Risen Lord!
I was travelling in the car this afternoon after having a lovely day with the family and as I listened to the programme on the car radio a question was posed by the announcer and it was this?
"We know that Jesus was crucified on Good Friday and He rose from the dead on Easter Sunday, but what actually happened on Monday?"
Yes you are right, my mind began its task of thinking on this question. A clergyman who was travelling for a short holiday break was contacted and his answer was that Jesus appeared to some people on the road to Emmaus, but as I read the account of this incident in St.Luke's account chapter 24, I see that Jesus appeared to these folk on the same day that he appeared to Mary in the garden of the tomb.(This would be Easter Day, Sunday)
In the Gospel of John chapter 21, I think it tells us what happened on the Monday! Jesus meet with his disciples who with Peter had decided to go fishing, and they saw Jesus on the shore (beach)having prepared breakfast, in actual fact it was the third time he has revealed himself in appearance after his rising from the tomb.
Interesting isn't it, that after such an ordeal of stress and strain of the Friday, then a time of shock and almost disbelief on the Sunday, Jesus calls his disciples to enjoy a prepared breakfast on the beach - - - - yes midst all the stress and bewilderment Jesus calls us to relax and just be with him.(The next morning..Monday!)However it does not stop there for midst the relaxtion of breakfast Jesus challenges Peter in regard to His love and devotion and we hear the great call to care for the Lord's flock.
Maybe we ought to be reminded that there is a time when we need to relax because it is then that we can be prepared for the work of loving and caring for the flock of God, His sheep.
It might be that midst all the care and stress, we need to come to the beach, it may be that we will see Jesus there, and if we look we may even see just one set of footprints - - - He will carry us when we find it difficult to to meet the pressures of ministry and as He carries us He will give us strength and energy then gently put us down to walk in His strength from the food of grace He has prepared on the beach of service.

Paul may have found this when he said;"And He said to me, My grace is sufficient for you, for My strength is made perfect in weakness." 2.Corithians 12: 9(a).
