There were together Simon Peter, and Thomas called Didymus, and Nathanael of Cana in Galilee, and the sons of Zebedee, and two others of His disciples. Simon Peter said to them, I am going fishing. They said to him, We will also come with you. They went out, and got into the boat; and that night they caught nothing. But when day was now breaking, Jesus stood on the beach; yet the disciples did not know that it was Jesus. Jesus therefore said them, Children, you do not have any fish, do you? They answered Him, No. And He said to them, Cast the net on the right-hand side of the boat, and you will find a catch. They cast therefore, and then they were not able to haul it in because of the great number of fish. John 21: 1-6 An angel instructed the women at the empty tomb to go and tell the disciples and Peter to go to Galilee and meet Jesus there. The disciples waited a week before leaving Jerusalem to go to Galilee. When they arrived Jesus was not there, at least they didn t see Him. Jesus always keeps His promise. But remember the disciples and Peter were not walking close to Jesus at this time. They had said they didn t know the man, when He was arrested. They didn t stand at the foot of the cross when Jesus was crucified. Only John stood there with his Jesus mother Mary. When they arrived in Galilee and didn t see Jesus, Peter should have said, Let us bow down and pray. If they had done that, Jesus would have appeared in their midst. But they didn t, Peter said I m going fishing, the others said we will come with you. Every Christian should be in church every Sunday, how many will say, especially in the summer, I m going fishing, or I m going to the ball game, or I m going to clean the house, or do something with the family, or go on a picnic instead of going to church! The disciples fished all night and didn t catch one fish. The next morning Jesus stood on shore and asked them if they had any fish? They said no, He said put you net on the other side of the boat, they obeyed and caught so many fish they could hardly get them in the boat. The lesson, walk in obedience to God s word, and you will have peace and joy inexpressible. If you skip church you are not going to fully enjoy whatever you replace church with!
