He Appeared Again


Later, Jesus appeared again to the disciples beside the Sea of Galilee. John 21:1



The Sea of Galilee. Just a big lake. Imagine Jesus standing on the shore in the early morning light, watching His disciples trying to catch fish. Three years earlier He had taken them from their boats and fishing to make them fishers of men. Now they were back at it—fishing. He came to see them—knowing that they were there casting their nets. Tossing them again…and again.



How like those disciples—the fishermen—are we—you and me? Do we go back to our old ways when we don’t have any specific guidance from our teacher? Look—is Jesus there on the shore watching you as you cast your net?  Jesus is watching you and waiting for you to do His work—not go back to your old ways. How will you respond to Him today?



Prayer ~ Jesus, precious Savior, just as You called Your disciples…"Follow Me, and I will make you fishers of men." Matthew 4:19, I hear You calling me.
