Thomas, Nathanael and two other
disciples decided to go fishing with Peter.
They fished all night and caught
nothing.
Early the next morning they saw someone standing on the shore.
They did not know it was Jesus. Jesus called out.
"Friends, haven't
you any fish?"
"Throw your net
on the right side of the boat and you will find some."
The catch was so large
they could not haul in the net!
"It is
the Lord!"
When Peter heard, he
jumped into the water. The other disciples followed in the boat.
There was a fire with fish cooking and some bread.
"Bring
some of the fish you have just caught."
There were 153 fish in the
net, but the net was not torn.
This is the 3rd time Jesus
had been with the disciples as a group.
There is no specific teaching in this story.
Fellowship that had been interrupted by the death of Jesus was being
restored.
Eating with Jesus was proof that he was alive and not a ghost.
