The World Needs Our Testimony!
We are in this wonderful time of the year, Eastertide! As we continue to meditate on the central event of human history, the Resurrection, we have the Gospel Portion, St. John 21: 1-19. We are in the Post Resurrection accounts when Jesus provides His teachings in glorified form. Our section to concentrate on is,
He told them, “Cast the net on the right side of the boat, and you will find some.” So they cast it, and now they were not able to haul it in, for the quantity of fish. John 21:6
Peter and some of the disciples are fishing, they have returned to their old way of life. We can sense that they returned to their comfort zone. They had been through some very overwhelming times. The Crucifixion by itself is an amazing experience. The Resurrection is beyond human imagination.
Jesus’ teaching ministry had to continue!
Peter and his friends even though they were experienced fishermen, had applied their trade, they were unsuccessful. However, when Jesus told them to throw out the nets again, going against their training, they received a miracle catch. They realized that it was their Master!
We have our message here! The Resurrected Lord will bless our efforts! What seems impossible is possible through Jesus!
Do everything through Jesus!
May we put all of our hopes in Him!
