  More Than We Imagine  
 
 

John 21:1-14
1 Afterward Jesus appeared again to his disciples, by the Sea of Tiberias. It happened this way:
2 Simon Peter, Thomas (called Didymus), Nathanael from Cana in Galilee, the sons of Zebedee, and two other disciples were together.
3 "I'm going out to fish," Simon Peter told them, and they said, "We'll go with you." So they went out and got into the boat, but that night they caught nothing.
4 Early in the morning, Jesus stood on the shore, but the disciples did not realize that it was Jesus.
5 He called out to them, "Friends, haven't you any fish?" "No," they answered.
6 He said, "Throw your net on the right side of the boat and you will find some." When they did, they were unable to haul the net in because of the large number of fish.
7 Then the disciple whom Jesus loved said to Peter, "It is the Lord!" As soon as Simon Peter heard him say, "It is the Lord," he wrapped his outer garment around him (for he had taken it off) and jumped into the water.
8 The other disciples followed in the boat, towing the net full of fish, for they were not far from shore, about a hundred yards.
9 When they landed, they saw a fire of burning coals there with fish on it, and some bread.
10 Jesus said to them, "Bring some of the fish you have just caught."
11 Simon Peter climbed aboard and dragged the net ashore. It was full of large fish, 153, but even with so many the net was not torn.
12 Jesus said to them, "Come and have breakfast." None of the disciples dared ask him, "Who are you?" They knew it was the Lord.
13 Jesus came, took the bread and gave it to them, and did the same with the fish.
14 This was now the third time Jesus appeared to his disciples after he was raised from the dead.


God can do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine according to his power. The sea of Tiberias, also known as the sea of Galilee, is where Jesus did several miracles, is where he walked on the water, calmed the stormy sea, and fed the five thousand. It was common practice to fish at night and to sell the fish on the morning market. These professional fisherman who fished almost all their life, worked this whole night and didn't catch a thing.

Vs. 6 He said, "Throw your net on the right side of the boat and you will find some." When they did, they were unable to haul the net in because of the large number of fish. More than we ask or imagine. Cups running over. Showers of blessings. Life to the full. God does this when we trust and obey.

Consider psalms 128
- "Blessed are all who fear the Lord, who walk in his ways,
- You will eat the fruit of your labor; blessing and prosperity will be yours.
- Your wife will be like a fruitful vine within your house.
- Your sons will be like olive shoots around your table.
- This is the man blessed who fears the Lord."

Consider what God told the Israelites in Deuteronomy 7:
- "He will love you and bless you and increase your numbers.
- He will bless the fruit of your womb, the crops of your land - your grain, new wine and oil - the calves of your herds and the lambs of your flocks…
- You will be blessed more than any other people; none of your men or women will be childless, nor any of your livestock without young.
- The Lord will keep you free from every disease…..

Let every praise, glory and honor belongs to him, our Lord Jesus.
