We started a new series last week called "Get Reeled In"! We are taking stories from the Bible that have to do with fish and seeing how they can relate to our lives today.
Last week, we talked about "Jesus And The Miraculous Catch Of Fish". The disciples went fishing... They fished all night long and caught nothing. Then Jesus comes up and He says, “Cast your nets on the other side of the boat and I promise you, you’ll catch fish.” So the disciples, even though they had already tried everything all night long and still caught nothing..... they chose to listen to Jesus and cast their nets on the other side of the boat. Then the Bible talks about how they caught so many fish that the boat actually began to sink!!
We learned through this story that Jesus CARES about everything we go through… even the little stuff. Jesus was concerned that the disciples had not caught any fish... he cared, because they cared!
Another thing we learned from this story is that Jesus is able to meet our every need! Jesus CAN do anything we need Him to do. Jesus can meet your needs, whatever it is... nothing is too small or too big for God!
And lastly, we see through this story that when we do what Jesus COMMANDS, amazing things happen in our lives. The disciples had a choice whether or not to do what Jesus told them to do. They could have said, "Jesus, we've been fishing all night... we've already tried throwing our nets on that side... no way, man!!" And then they wouldn't have experienced the miracle He had for them.
I love how we can learn from the amazing stories in our Bible! If you'd like to read this entire Bible story, you'll find it in John 21.
