*I’m going out to fish!*
!!!!
!!!! /John 21/
!!!!! /Jesus and the Miraculous Catch of Fish /
/ 1Afterward Jesus appeared again to his disciples,/
/ by the Sea of Tiberias./
/ It happened this way: 2Simon Peter, Thomas (called Didymus), /
/ Nathanael from Cana in Galilee, the sons of Zebedee, /
/ and two other disciples were together.
/
/3//"I'm going out to fish," /
/ Simon Peter told them, and they said, /
/ "We'll go with you." /
/So they went out and got into the boat, /
/ but that night they caught nothing.
/
/ 4Early in the morning, Jesus stood on the shore,/
/ but the disciples did not realize that it was Jesus.
/
/ 5He called out to them, "Friends, haven't you any fish?"
\\ "No," they answered.
/
/ 6He said, "Throw your net on the right side of the boat /
/ and you will find some."
/
/When they did, they were unable to haul the net in /
/ because of the large number of fish.
/
/ 7Then the disciple whom Jesus loved said to Peter, /
/ "It is the Lord!" /
/As soon as Simon Peter heard him say, "It is the Lord,"/
/ he wrapped his outer garment around him/
/ (for he had taken it off) and jumped into the water.
/
/8//The other disciples followed in the boat, /
/ towing the net full of fish, /
/ for they were not far from shore, about a hundred yards.
/
/9//When they landed, they saw a fire of burning coals there /
/ with fish on it, and some bread.
/
/ 10Jesus said to them, /
/ "Bring some of the fish you have just caught."
/
/ 11Simon Peter climbed aboard and dragged the net ashore.
/
/ It was full of large fish, 153,/
/ but even with so many the net was not torn.
/
/12//Jesus said to them, "Come and have breakfast."
/
/ None of the disciples dared ask him, "Who are you?"
/
/ They knew it was the Lord.
/
/13//Jesus came, took the bread and gave it to them, /
/ and did the same with the fish.
/
/14//This was now the third time Jesus appeared to his disciples /
/ after he was raised from the dead.
/
/ /
/ 15When they had finished eating, /
/ Jesus said to Simon Peter, /
/ "Simon son of John, do you truly love me more than these?" \\ "Yes, Lord," he said, "you know that I love you."
\\ Jesus said, "Feed my lambs."
/
/ 16Again Jesus said, "Simon son of John, do you truly love me?" \\ He answered, "Yes, Lord, you know that I love you."
\\ Jesus said, "Take care of my sheep."
/
/ 17The third time he said to him, /
/ "Simon son of John, do you love me?" \\ Peter was hurt because Jesus asked him the third time, /
/ "Do you love me?" /
/He said, "Lord, you know all things; /
/ you know that I love you."
/
/ 18Jesus said, "Feed my sheep….”

\\ *What a remarkable story!
*This Text is has so many different layers…*
*Here we see seven of the disciples after the death of Jesus *
* heading back to the sea *
* to do what they knew how to do… to fish.*
*Then there is the mysterious interruption by the stranger…*
* An act of obedience…*
* And a miraculous catch of 153 large fish.*
*We also see the disciples sharing in communion*
* with their master around the fire.*
* There is bread and fish.*
*And then Peter is confronted with his failure…*
* and ultimately restored *
* to take on the responsibility of *
* taking care of the sheep – the emerging Christian Church.*
* * \\ \\
*ILL.
*An old pastor stood up to testify to his faith
During a Pastor’s meeting.
Yet his testimony surprised a number of People.
The pastor stood up and looked at the group and said,
“I am a lay pastor of a small church that is not growing.
I am not ordained.
I am not seminary trained.
I was asked to leave both Bible colleges I attended.
I am divorced and remarried.
On any given day I am capable
of being a jerk with my wife and family.
I am terminally insecure,
which causes me to compensate with bouts of arrogance.
At times people irritate me,
and I hide from them.
I am impulsive,
which causes me to say things I shouldn’t
and make promises I cannot keep.
I am inconsistent.
\\ \\ My walk with Christ is a stuttering, stumbling,
attempt to follow Him.
At times His presence is so real I can’t stop the tears,
and then, without warning, I can’t find Him.
Some days my faith is strong, impenetrable, and immovable—
and some days my faith is weak, pathetic, helpless,
knocked about like a paper cup floating on the ocean
in the middle of a hurricane.
\\ \\ I have been a Christian for 45 years.
I am familiar with the vocabulary of faith,
