"BREAKFAST BY THE SEA"
"... these are written that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God,
and that believing you may have life in His name.
"After these things Jesus showed Himself again to the disciples at the Sea of Tiberias (Galilee), and in this way He showed Himself.
"But when the morning had now come, Jesus stood on the shore; yet the disciples did not know that it was Jesus.
"Then Jesus said to them, 'Children, have you any food?' They answered Him, 'No'
"And He said to them, 'Cast the net on the right side of the boat, and you will find some.' So they cast, and now they were not able to draw it in because of the multitude of the fish.
"Jesus said to them, 'Come and eat breakfast.' Yet none of the disciples dared ask Him, 'Who are You --- knowing that it was the Lord.
"Jesus then came and took the bread and gave it to them, and likewise the fish.
"This is now the third time Jesus had shown Himself to His disciples after He was raised from the dead."
The miraculous catch of fish and breakfast with their Master convinced them of who He was, and yet left too them awed to spoil with words the wonder of His presence and actions. (please read that again).
Peter and the others has gone back to their old lifestyle...and were having no success (see John 21:3).
But Jesus in His Holy love, sought them out, He "fed them" with fish, bread, and His presence, and He restored them to fruitfulness and direction. He also personally restored Peter.
When we "go back to some of our old ways", He is willing to do the same for us!!!!!
*****PLEASE read John 20:31 thru John 21:17 (just 18 verses!!!) so you get ALL of the story!!!
"Thank God for His Son, His Gift too wonderful for words." (II Corinthians 9:15/Living Bible)
ALL GLORY TO JESUS CHRIST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
