Day 3: John 21:1-14
Stories: Fishers of men
Curiosities:
1) Jesus performed a nearly identical miracle to one that Peter had encountered early on in his time with Jesus. A mysterious man caused him to bring in a supernatural catch of fish. In Peter’s world, this could only be God.
2) Why did Jesus appear so few times to His disciples? He was on earth for several weeks after His resurrection, so why didn’t He spend all His time with His disciples like before?
3) Jesus loved fishing metaphors. John doesn’t record this, but we know that Jesus called these men to leave their nets and “fish for men.” He calls us to the same thing today.
