… cast the net to 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 because there were so many fish. That disciple whom Jesus loved said to Peter, it is the Lord. When Simon Peter heard that it was the Lord, he put on his outer garment, for he had taken it off and jumped into the sea. But the other disciples came in the boat, dragging the net full of fish, for they were not far from the land, only about a hundred yards off. When they had gone ashore, they saw a charcoal fire there with fish on it and bread. Jesus said to them, bring some of the fish that you have just caught. So Simon Peter went aboard and hauled the net ashore full of large fish, 153 of them, and though there were so many, the net was not torn. Jesus said to them, come and have breakfast. Now none of the disciples dared to ask him, who are you? Because they knew it was the Lord. Jesus came and took the bread and gave it to them and did the same with the fish. This is the word of God for the people of God. Thanks be to God. …
… I'm going to be the one. And let me show you the example of it in John 21 verse 7. And you can read it later. But long story short, it's again when the disciples see Jesus for the first time. And John says, I think there's Jesus on the shore. And that's all Peter needed. Peter did not wait for the boat to come into shore. He had lost connection and betrayed his friend. and at the moment there was an opportunity for reconciliation the bible says that peter jumped out of the boat and swam to the shore he initiated reconciliation he did not wait for everybody in the boat to come and let's all do this together he said if that is the person i committed to ride with and i thought that this was almost over i got to go see he jumped out and went to him it's the same way that many of you need to jump out of your pride. And you need to go say i'm sorry And many of you maybe you didn't do it, but you need to say I forgive you and they're like, what did I do? …
… So they cast it, and now they were not able to haul it in because of the quantity of fish. That disciple whom Jesus loved therefore said to Peter, It is the Lord! When Simon Peter heard that it was the Lord, he put on his outer garment, for he was stripped for work, and threw himself into the sea. The other disciples came in the boat, dragging the net full of fish, for they were not far from land, but about a hundred yards off. When they got out on land, they saw charcoal fire in place with fish laid on it and bread. Jesus said to them, Bring some of the fish you have just caught. So Simon Peter went aboard and hauled the net ashore, full of large fish, 153 of them. And although there were so many, the net was not torn. Jesus said to them, Come and have breakfast. Now none of the disciples dared ask him, Who are you? They knew it was the Lord. …
… because of the quantity of fish. That disciple whom Jesus loved, which is how John refers to himself, therefore said to Peter, it is the Lord. When Simon Peter heard that it was the Lord, he put on his outer garment for he was stripped for work and threw himself into the sea. The other disciples came in the boat, dragging the net full of fish, for they were not far from the land, but about a hundred yards off. Now, what's interesting is another follower of Jesus, Luke, tells a similar story that played out one of the first times Peter met Jesus. And most every detail is the same except one. So in both stories, the guys are in a boat, they fish all night and they catch nothing. In both stories, Jesus says, try one more time. And in both stories, the nets come up full. But here's the difference. Let me show it to you. In the first story, Peter falls on his face and says to Jesus, get away from me. …
