JESUS HAD PROMISED TO MAKE THE DISCIPLES "FISHERS OF MEN". MATTHEW 4:19
THIS POST-RESURRECTION APPEARANCE CAN BE APPLIED TO WINNING SOULS FOR HIM.
DON'T FISH WITHOUT JESUS - VSS. 1-6
THE DISCIPLES WENT FISHING WITHOUT JESUS AND CAUGHT NOTHING.
WITH JESUS' HELP THE NETS WERE FULL.
WE CAN'T EXPECT TO WIN SOULS TO CHRIST WITHOUT HIS ENABLING POWER. JOHN 15:5
DON'T FRET OVER THE CATCH - VSS. 7-11
OFTEN WHEN WE LEAD SOULS TO CHRIST WE WORRY ABOUT THE SINCERITY OF THE DECISION AND THE CONSISTENCY OF THE CONVERTS. JUST AS THE NET HELD ALL THE FLESH, THE LORD JESUS HOLDS ALL THOSE THAT SINCERELY TRUST IN HIM. JOHN 10:27-31
DON'T FUSS WHEN CORRECTED - VSS. 12-18
IN ORDER FOR PETER TO BE THE VERY BEST FISHER OF MEN, JESUS NEEDED TO DEAL WITH ISSUES IN HIS LIFE, AND ENCOURAGE HIM. JESUS WILL CORRECT US AS WELL TO MAKE SURE WE ARE GOOD FISHERS OF MEN. HEBREWS 12:5-11
