The gospel story of the cross says this: Because of God's love the Son of God came into the world, and despite his actions of love, healing, and mercy, the Son of God was ultimately rejected, condemned, and crucified by a sinful world built upon violent power. And yet, in that moment, when the world did its very worst, the Crucified One was not condemning the world, but saving the world.

Začiatkom leta sme si s turistickým sprievodcom Miroslavom Svítekom tak trochu lámali hlavy nad tým ako zmysluplne stráviť prázdninový čas s deťmi. Prišli sme s výzvou v podobe pohybu na čerstvom vzduchu a parádnej turistiky. Počas troch mesiacov ide v našom letnom špeciály o putovanie po Česko – Slovenskej hranici a ak ste aj trocha dobrodružnej povahy, oceníte že ideme často mimo turistických chodníkov, ale naozaj po samotnej hranici od mesta Břeclav až po obec Bukovec, kde to žije srdečnosťou, spolupatričnosťou a vrelým susedstvom medzi dvoma bratskými národmi. O tejto ceste a kope veselých zážitkov sa porozprávali Juraj Turis s milovníkom turistiky Miroslavom Svítekom.
Si Ťin-pchin, Putin, Kim Čong-un, Lukašenko, Vučič – spoločnosť, v ktorej je v týchto hodinách Robert Fico. Oslavuje koniec druhej svetovej vojny v Číne.A ak nemecký kancelár Merz hovorí o Vladimírovi Putinovi ako o „možno najväčšom vojnovom zločincovi našej doby“, slovenský premiér tomuto Putinovi verejne vojnu ani nespomenie. Turecký Recep Tajip Erdogan naopak po stretnutí s ruským prezidentom skloňuje „nie konfliktu, priorita pre dialóg“. „Diskutovali sme, ako dosiahnuť spravodlivý mier medzi Ruskom a Ukrajinou,“ hovorí. Slovenský premiér naopak kritizoval Ukrajinu za útoky na energetickú infraštruktúru a s Moskvou dohadoval obchodnú spoluprácu.Ruky preč od neho dáva Brusel, rovnako domáca opozícia. Napriek tomu je v Číne v pozícii premiéra krajiny. Kam takýmito krokmi zaťahuje Slovensko, v ktorom žijú ešte stále z veľkej časti vyznávači západných hodnôt slobody a demokratických pravidiel?Témy pre Miroslava Wlachovského, bývalého šéfa diplomacie, ktorý aktuálne pôsobí v Globsecu.„Robert Fico nás ťahá von zo Západu. Ťahá nás na Východ. Ťahá nás do toho, čo Briti volajú ‚uncharted territories' – do neprebádaných území, ktoré nie sú pre túto krajinu ničím dobrým,“ hovorí Wlachovský.Podľa bývalého šéfa slovenskej diplomacie by premiér mal svoju cestu v Číne vysvetliť v parlamente. „Určite by si ho parlament mal zavolať. Mali by ho zavolať na zahraničný výbor. Mali by sa ho pýtať, kam túto krajinu vedie. Prečo mení princípy slovenskej zahraničnej politiky,“ tvrdí Miroslav Wlachovský.Nestačí podľa neho, že premiér povie jednu vetu o euroatlantickom priestore ako o dôležitom pre Slovensko, je potrebné fakticky to napĺňať. „To je to, čo sa nedeje. Deje sa presný opak,“ hovorí bývalý šéf slovenskej diplomacie.Podcast pripravil Jaroslav Barborák.

„Definitívne vyriešenie“. Čaká naň druhý dôchodkový pilier. Aspoň podľa avíza ministra práce Erika Tomáša. A hoci sa ho nemá dotknúť štátna konsolidácia, témou sa stáva práve v čase, keď sa toto štátne naháňanie úspor deje. Minister počíta s pracovnou komisiou, v ktorej chce vidieť opozíciu i správcovské spoločnosti. Hovorí na jednej strane o ústavnej hrádzi pre minimálny odvod, ale i o konci pre automatický vstup mladých do systému a tiež o možnosti vyviesť z neho tých, pre ktorých má byť nevýhodný. Hovorí dokonca o „uväznených“ druhého piliera. Pripomína tiež možnosť investovať miliardy zo súkromných dôchodkových účtov do domácich projektov.Ako sa k takémuto „definitívnemu vyriešeniu“ stavajú dôchodkoví správcovia? Zdieľajú pohľad ministra a jeho ľudí o tom, že pôjde o definitívne riešenie? Téma pre Miroslava Kotova, ktorý sa len pred tromi mesiacmi obával apetítu politikov, ktorí v dôchodkových úsporách vidia „nízko rastúce“ a teda na zber veľmi jednoduché ovocie.„Nemám dôvod neveriť slovám ministrov i premiéra, že sa aktuálna konsolidácia druhého piliera nedotkne,“ hovorí Kotov. Ústavnú ochranu minimálneho dôchodkového odvodu označuje za „dobrú správu“, no dodáva, že stabilitu prinesie až jeho postupné zvyšovanie.„Všetky štúdie v zahraničí ukazujú, že dôchodkové systémy, ktoré sú pod tlakom demografie, sú tým stabilnejšie, čím majú silnejšiu kapitalizačnú a teda úsporovú časť,“ vysvetľuje.Podcast pripravil Jaroslav Barborák.

Komunistický režim si během normalizace vychovával generaci svazáků a pionýrů, kteří se měli stát poslušnými inženýry v národních strojírenských a hutních podnicích. Vedle těchto „uvědomělých“ soudruzi nechtěně vytvořili prostor pro silnou generaci filozofů, teologů, historiků a umělců, kteří se komunistům postavili. Jedním z nich byl houslista a dirigent Miroslav Jirounek.

Miroslav Volf critiques ambition, love of status, and superiority, offering a Christ-shaped vision of agapic love and humble glory.“'And if you received it, why do you boast as if it were not a gift?' If you received everything you have as a gift and if your existence as the recipient is also a gift, all ground for boasting is gone. Correspondingly, striving for superiority over others, seeking to make oneself better than others and glorying in that achievement, is possible only as an existential lie. It is not just a lie that all strivers and boasters tell themselves. More troublingly, that lie is part of the ideology that is the wisdom of a certain twisted and world-negating form of the world.”In Lecture 5, the final of his Gifford Lectures, Miroslav Volf offers a theological and moral vision that critiques the dominant culture of ambition, superiority, and status. Tracing the destructive consequences of Epithumic desire and the relentless “race of honors,” Volf contrasts them with agapic love—God's self-giving, unconditional love. Drawing from Paul's Christ hymn in Philippians 2 and philosophical insights from Rousseau, Nietzsche, and Max Scheler, Volf reveals the radical claim that striving for superiority is not merely harmful but fundamentally false. Through Christ's self-emptying, even to the point of death, we glimpse a redefinition of glory that subverts all worldly hierarchies. The love that saves is the love that descends. In a world ravaged by competition, inequality, and devastation, Volf calls for fierce, humble, and world-affirming love—a love that mends what can be mended, and makes the world home again.Episode Highlights“Striving for superiority over others… is possible only as an existential lie.”“Jesus Christ was no less God and no less glorious at his lowest point.”“To the extent that I'm striving for superiority, I cannot love myself unless I am the GOAT.”“God cancels the standards of the kind of aspiration whose goal is superiority.”“This is neither self-denial nor denial of the world. This is love for the world at work.”Show NotesAgapic love vs. Epithemic desire and self-centered striving“Striving for superiority… is possible only as an existential lie.”Paul's hymn in Philippians 2 and the “race of shame”Rousseau: striving for superiority gives us “a multitude of bad things”Nietzsche's critique of Christianity and pursuit of powerMax Scheler: downward love, not upward striving“Jesus Christ was no less God and no less glorious at his lowest point.”Self-love as agapic: “I am entirely a gift to myself.”Raphael's Transfiguration and the chaos belowDemon possession as symbolic of systemic and spiritual powerlessness“To the extent that I'm striving for superiority, I cannot love myself unless I am the GOAT.”“The world is the home of God and humans together.”God's love affirms the dignity of even the most unlovable creatureLove as spontaneous overflow, not moral condescension“Mending what can be mended… mourning with those who mourn and dancing with those who rejoice.”Production NotesThis podcast featured Miroslav VolfEdited and Produced by Evan RosaHosted by Evan RosaProduction Assistance by Taylor Craig and Macie BridgeA Production of the Yale Center for Faith & Culture at Yale Divinity School https://faith.yale.edu/aboutSupport For the Life of the World podcast by giving to the Yale Center for Faith & Culture: https://faith.yale.edu/giveSpecial thanks to Dr. Paul Nimmo, Paula Duncan, and the media team at the University of Aberdeen.

Miroslav Volf explores agapic love, creation's goodness, and God's grief—an alternative to despair, power, and world rejection.“When a wanted child is born, the immense joy of many parents often renders them mute, but their radiant faces speak of surprised delight: ‘Just look at you! It is so very good that you are here!' This delight precedes any judgment about the beauty, functionality, or moral rectitude of the child. The child's sheer existence, the mere fact of it, is ‘very good.' That's what I propose God, too, exclaimed, looking at the new-born world. And that unconditional love grounds creation's existence.”In this fourth Gifford Lecture, Miroslav Volf contrasts the selective and self-centered love of Ivan Karamazov with the radically inclusive, unconditional love of Father Zosima. Drawing deeply from Dostoevsky's The Brothers Karamazov, Genesis's creation and flood narratives, and Hannah Arendt's concept of amor mundi, Volf explores a theology of agapic love: unearned, universal, and enduring. This is the love by which God sees creation as “very good”—not because it is perfect, but because it exists. It's the love that grieves corruption without destroying it, that sees responsibility as mutual, and that offers the only hope for life in a deeply flawed world. With references to Luther, Nietzsche, and modern visions of power and desire, Volf challenges us to ask what kind of love makes a world, sustains it, and might one day save it. “Love the world,” he insists, “or lose your soul.”Episode Highlights“The world will either be loved with unconditional love, or it'll not be loved at all.”“Unconditional love abides. If the object of love is in a state that can be celebrated, love rejoices. If it is not, love mourns and takes time to help bring it back to itself.”“Each is responsible for all. Each is guilty for all. Each needs forgiveness from all. Each must forgive all.”“Creation is not primarily sacramental or iconic. It is an object of delight both for humans and for God.”“Agapic love demands nothing from the beloved, though it cares and hopes much for them and for the shared world with them.”Show NotesSchopenhauer and Nietzsche's visions of happiness: pleasure and power as substitutes for love“Love as hunger”: the devouring nature of epithemic desireIvan Karamazov's tragic love for life—selective, gut-level, and self-focused“There is still… this wild and perhaps indecent thirst for life in me”Father Zosima's universal love for “every leaf and every ray of God's light”“Love man also in his sin… Love all God's creation”Sonya and Raskolnikov in Crime and Punishment: love as restoration“She loved him and stayed with him—not although he murdered, but because he murdered”God's declaration in Genesis: “And look—it was very good”Hannah Arendt's amor mundi—“I want you to be” as pure affirmationCreation as gift: “Each is itself by being more than itself”Martin Luther on marriage, sex, and delight as godly pleasuresThe flood as hypothetical: divine grief replaces divine destruction“It grieved God to his heart”—grief as a form of agapic love“Each is responsible for all. Each is guilty for all.”Agape over erotic love: not reward and punishment, but faithful presence and care“Agapic love demands nothing… It is free, sovereign to love, humble.”Closing invitation: to live the life of love, under whatever circumstancesProduction NotesThis podcast featured Miroslav VolfEdited and Produced by Evan RosaHosted by Evan RosaProduction Assistance by Taylor Craig and Macie BridgeA Production of the Yale Center for Faith & Culture at Yale Divinity School https://faith.yale.edu/aboutSupport For the Life of the World podcast by giving to the Yale Center for Faith & Culture: https://faith.yale.edu/giveSpecial thanks to Dr. Paul Nimmo, Paula Duncan, and the media team at the University of Aberdeen.

Today's brief poem goes out to teachers everywhere as they return to work. Good luck and happy reading.“Poet Seamus Heaney described Holub's writing as ‘a laying bare of things, not so much the skull beneath the skin, more the brain beneath the skull; the shape of relationships, politics, history; the rhythms of affections and disaffection; the ebb and flow of faith, hope, violence, art.' In 1988 poet Ted Hughes called Holub ‘one of the half dozen most important poets writing anywhere.'” This is a public episode.

Shelter from the StormBob Dylan'Twas in another lifetime, one of toil and bloodWhen blackness was a virtue, the road was full of mudI came in from the wilderness, a creature void of form“Come in,” she said, “I'll give you shelter from the storm”And if I pass this way again, you can rest assuredI'll always do my best for her, on that I give my wordIn a world of steel-eyed death, and men who are fighting to be warm“Come in,” she said, “I'll give you shelter from the storm”Not a word was spoke between us, there was little risk involvedEverything up to that point had been left unresolvedTry imagining a place where it's always safe and warm“Come in,” she said, “I'll give you shelter from the storm”I was burned out from exhaustion, buried in the hailPoisoned in the bushes an' blown out on the trailHunted like a crocodile, ravaged in the corn“Come in,” she said, “I'll give you shelter from the storm”Suddenly I turned around and she was standin' thereWith silver bracelets on her wrists and flowers in her hairShe walked up to me so gracefully and took my crown of thorns“Come in,” she said, “I'll give you shelter from the storm”Now there's a wall between us, somethin' there's been lostI took too much for granted, I got my signals crossedJust to think that it all began on an uneventful morn“Come in,” she said, “I'll give you shelter from the storm”Well, the deputy walks on hard nails and the preacher rides a mountBut nothing really matters much, it's doom alone that countsAnd the one-eyed undertaker, he blows a futile horn“Come in,” she said, “I'll give you shelter from the storm”I've heard newborn babies wailin' like a mournin' doveAnd old men with broken teeth stranded without loveDo I understand your question, man, is it hopeless and forlorn?“Come in,” she said, “I'll give you shelter from the storm”In a little hilltop village, they gambled for my clothesI bargained for salvation an' she gave me a lethal doseI offered up my innocence and got repaid with scorn“Come in,” she said, “I'll give you shelter from the storm”Well, I'm livin' in a foreign country but I'm bound to cross the lineBeauty walks a razor's edge, someday I'll make it mineIf I could only turn back the clock to when God and her were born“Come in,” she said, “I'll give you shelter from the storm”

I criedWhat wild ghost has come in agitation?Who is it? I criedWhat wild ghost has come in agitation?It's half past midnightOh, why you disturb me so late?Then I saw a movement around my narrow bedI saw a movement around my narrow bedA ghost in giant sneakers, laughing stars around his headWho sat on a narrow bed, this flaming boyWho sat on a narrow bed, this flaming boySaid, "We've all had too much sorrowNow is the time for joy"All across the world they shout out their angry wordsAll across the world they shout out their angry wordsAbout the end of loveYet the stars stand above the earthBright, triumphant metaphors of loveBright, triumphant metaphors of loveThat blind us all who care to stand and look beyondThat dare to stand and look beyond, aboveAnd I jumped up like a rabbit and fell down to my kneesI jumped up like a rabbit and fell down to my kneesI called all around meHave mercy on me, please

Miroslav Volf confronts Schopenhauer's pessimism and unquenchable thirst with a vision of love that affirms the world.“Unquenchable thirst makes for ceaseless pain. This befits our nature as objectification of the ceaseless and aimless will at the heart of reality. ... For Schopenhauer, the pleasure of satisfaction are the lights of fireflies in the night of life's suffering. These four claims taken together make pain the primordial, universal, and unalterable state of human lives.”In the second installment of his 2025 Gifford Lectures, Miroslav Volf examines the 19th-century philosopher Arthur Schopenhauer's radical rejection of the world. Through Schopenhauer's metaphysics of blind will and insatiable desire, Volf draws out the philosopher's haunting pessimism and hatred for existence itself. But Schopenhauer's rejection of the world—rooted in disappointed love—is not just a historical curiosity; Volf shows how our modern consumerist cravings mirror Schopenhauer's vision of unquenchable thirst and fleeting satisfaction. In response, Volf offers a theological and philosophical critique grounded in three kinds of love—epithumic (appetitive), erotic (appreciative), and agapic (self-giving)—arguing that agape love must be central in our relationship to the world. “Everything is a means, but nothing satisfies,” Volf warns, unless we reorder our loves. This second lecture challenges listeners to reconsider what it means to live in and love a world full of suffering—without abandoning its goodness.Episode Highlights“Unquenchable thirst makes for ceaseless pain. This befits our nature as objectification of the ceaseless and aimless will at the heart of reality.”“Whether we love ice cream or sex or God, we are often merely seeking to slake our thirst.”“If we long for what we have, what we have never ceases to satisfy.”“A better version is available—for whatever reason, it is not good enough. And we discard it. This is micro-rejection of the world.”“Those who love agape refuse to act as if they were the midpoint of their world.”Helpful Links and ResourcesThe World as Will and Representation by Arthur SchopenhauerParadiso by Dante AlighieriVictor Hugo's Les MisérablesA Brief for the Defense by Jack GilbertShow NotesSchopenhauer's pessimism as rooted in disappointed love of the worldGod's declaration in Genesis—“very good”—contrasted with Schopenhauer's “nothing is good”Job's suffering as a theological counterpoint to Schopenhauer's metaphysical despairHuman desire framed as unquenchable thirst: pain, boredom, and fleeting satisfactionSchopenhauer's diagnosis: we swing endlessly between pain and boredomThree kinds of love introduced: epithumic (appetite), erotic (appreciation), agapic (affirmation)Schopenhauer's exclusive emphasis on appetite—no place for appreciation or unconditional loveModern consumer culture mirrors Schopenhauer's account: desiring to desire, never satisfiedFast fashion, disposability, and market-induced obsolescence as symptoms of world-negation“We long for what we have” vs. “we discard the world”Luther's critique: “suck God's blood”—epithumic relation to GodAgape love: affirming the other, even when undeserving or diminishedErotic love: savoring the intrinsic worth of things, not just their utilityThe fleetingness of joy and comparison's corrosion of valueModern desire as invasive, subliminally shaped by market competitionDenigration of what is in favor of what could be—a pathology of dissatisfactionConsumerism as massive “micro-rejection” of the worldVolf's call to reorder our loves toward appreciation and unconditional affirmationTheology and metaphysics reframe suffering not as a reason to curse the world, but to love it betterPreview of next lecture: Nietzsche, joy, and the affirmation of all existenceProduction NotesThis podcast featured Miroslav VolfEdited and Produced by Evan RosaHosted by Evan RosaProduction Assistance by Taylor Craig and Macie BridgeA Production of the Yale Center for Faith & Culture at Yale Divinity School https://faith.yale.edu/aboutSupport For the Life of the World podcast by giving to the Yale Center for Faith & Culture: https://faith.yale.edu/giveSpecial thanks to Dr. Paul Nimmo, Paula Duncan, and the media team at the University of Aberdeen.

Miroslav Volf on how to rightly love a radically ambivalent world.“The world, our planetary home, certainly needs to be changed, improved. But what it needs even more is to be rightly loved.”Miroslav Volf begins his 2025 Gifford Lectures at the University of Aberdeen with a provocative theological inquiry: What difference does belief in God make for our relationship to the world? Drawing deeply from Nietzsche's “death of God,” Schopenhauer's despair, and Hannah Arendt's vision of amor mundi, Volf explores the ambivalence of modern life—its beauty and horror, its resonance and alienation. Can we truly love the world, even amidst its chaos and collapse? Can a belief in the God of Jesus Christ provide motivation to love—not as appetite or utility, but as radical, unconditional affirmation? Volf suggests that faith offers not a retreat from reality, but an anchor amid its disorder—a trust that enables us to hope, even when the world's goodness seems impossible. This first lecture challenges us to consider the character of our relationship to the world, between atheism and theism, critique and love.Episode Highlights“The world, our planetary home, certainly needs to be changed, improved. But what it needs even more is to be rightly loved.”“Resonance seems both indispensable and insufficient. But what should supplement it? What should underpin it?”“Our love for that lived world is what these lectures are about.”“We can reject and hate one form of the world because we love the world as such.”“Though God is fully alive… we often find the same God asleep when our boats are about to capsize.”Helpful Links and ReferencesResonance by Hartmut RosaThe Human Condition by Hannah ArendtThis Life by Martin HägglundThe Home of God by Miroslav Volf and Ryan McAnnally-LinzThe City of God by AugustineDivine Comedy by DanteShow NotesPaul Nimmo introduces the Gifford Lectures and Miroslav Volf's themeVolf begins with gratitude and scope: belief in God and our worldIntroduces Nietzsche's “death of God” as cultural metaphorFrames plausibility vs. desirability of God's existenceIntroduces Hartmut Rosa's theory of resonanceProblem: resonance is not enough; what underpins motivation to care?Introduces amor mundi as thematic direction of the lecturesContrasts Marx's atheism and human liberation with Nietzsche's nihilismAnalyzes Dante and Beatrice in Hägglund's This LifeDistinguishes between “world” and “form of the world”Uses cruise ship metaphor to critique modern life's ambivalenceDiscusses Augustine, Hannah Arendt, and The Home of GodReflections on divine providence and theodicyBiblical images: flood, exile, and the sleeping GodEnds with preview of next lectures on Schopenhauer and NietzscheLet me know if you'd like episode-specific artwork prompts, promotional copy for social media, or a transcript excerpt formatted for publication.Production NotesThis podcast featured Miroslav VolfEdited and Produced by Evan RosaHosted by Evan RosaProduction Assistance by Taylor Craig and Macie BridgeA Production of the Yale Center for Faith & Culture at Yale Divinity School https://faith.yale.edu/aboutSupport For the Life of the World podcast by giving to the Yale Center for Faith & Culture: https://faith.yale.edu/giveSpecial thanks to Dr. Paul Nimmo, Paula Duncan, and the media team at the University of Aberdeen.

Tento podcast je pokračováním série s Miroslavem Uďanem, zakladatelem Shoptetu. Pokud jste ho ještě neslyšeli, doporučujeme začít od začátku. Ve čtvrtém díle Mirek ukazuje, že růst firmy není o honbě za čísly, ale o dlouhodobé práci na produktu, vztahu se zákazníky a důsledném pozorování trhu. Růst je nevyhnutelný, pokud firma nechce zemřít, ale musí být organický a v souladu s kapacitou foundera i firmy. A když founder dojde na hranici svých sil, je klíčové to rozpoznat, přiznat si to a rozhodnout, co dál – bez ega. Video rozhovoru najdete zde: Toto je exkluzivní rozhovor pro moje předplatitele.

The present tends to seem more distressing to us than the past, for the simple reason that we are not obliged to live in the past. Nevertheless the distress of our present age is real and therein lies the temptation to despair. We see senseless wars and war crimes; we see Machiavellian politics and political corruption; we see growing inequality and flagrant injustice; in the words of the psalmist, the arrogant prosper and the wicked have no pain. And so we are tempted to despair. But we do not have to despair.

Jesus is the teacher who in the parable of the Good Samaritan calls us to show mercy. Jesus is the Good Samaritan who comes to us and saves us after we're are left for dead. Jesus is the one beaten by robbers who we are to be a neighbor to by showing mercy. Jesus is the innocent one crucified with the robbers, so that he can save them too.
We are all familiar with this theological problem: If God is all-loving, all-knowing, all-powerful, why is there is so much evil and suffering in the world? Theodicy is the attempt to reconcile these realities and thus justify God. But is a Christian theodicy possible?
When James and John in their hostility suggested a drone strike on a Samaritan village because Elijah did something like that, Jesus rebuked them for their wrong spirit. From this story we learn that you can find things in the Bible that you cannot find in the spirit of Jesus.

Jesus is creating a new humanity by breathing the breath of life upon the Church, just as God in the beginning breathed the breath of life upon a pile of dirt to create the first humanity. This breath of life is the Holy Spirit. Our part in all this is to develop a posture of openness and receptivity to God the Holy Spirit. We want to be the kind of people who welcome the Holy Spirit on a regular basis. As Christians we remain open to receive the Holy Spirit primarily for two things: transformation and empowerment.

In a world where fear, division, and isolation often feel like the norm—what if love became our home?

In 1971, commenting on the Charismatic Renewal, the German Catholic theologian Karl Rahner said, "The devout Christian of the future will either be a 'mystic,' one who has 'experienced' something, or he will cease to be anything at all." Christian mysticism is simply the experience of God, and the Holy Spirit is the experience of God.

The Ascension is not about the absence of Christ, but about the ascendancy of Christ. The ascension of Jesus to the right hand of God in the heavens is the ascendancy, the rise, the elevation, the promotion, the exaltation of Jesus to the position of all authority in heaven and on earth. Furthermore, the ascension of Christ does not lead to the absence of Christ, but to his cosmic presence everywhere.
The third appearance of the risen Christ to the disciples in John's Gospel is when Jesus restores Peter after his thrice denial around a charcoal fire in the courtyard of Caiaphas. The story of Jesus and seven disciples having breakfast around a charcoal fire on the shore of the sea of Galilee is one of the most tender and beautiful stories in all the Bible.
