John 21

* Jesus and the Miraculous Catch of Fish

- Who are those disciples that Jesus appeared to at the Sea of Galilee?

1. Simon Peter, Thomas (called "Twin"), Nathanael from Cana of Galilee, Zebedee's sons, and two others of His disciples were together

- When Peter realised it was Jesus who has appeared again to them. Why do you think he put on his tunic or outer garment and jumped into the water to meet Jesus?

2. He tied his outer garment around him[d] (for he was stripped) and plunged into the sea. They were not far from land (about 100 yards[e] away). Simon Peter is excited to see Jesus.

- verse 14 said Jesus appeared for the third time to His disciple after He was raised from the dead. Where do you think Jesus is when He dos not appear to His disciple?

3. He could be with Mary, His Mother.

* Jesus Reinstates Peter

- Jesus asked Peter 3 times if he love Him, does it relate to the number of times Peter denied the Lord? Why or why not?

1. Yes. Because Jesus remembered what Peter did. But Jesus still forgives Peter.

- The sequence how Jesus answered Peter does it have to do in how we do ministry? Why or why not?

2. Yes. Because we should be fulfilled in our ministry with Jesus. We should abide in our works and our faith in Him.

What verse made an impact to you today?

3. The verse made an impact to me is v18 "I assure you: When you were young, you would tie your belt and walk wherever you wanted. But when you grow old, you will stretch out your hands and someone else will tie you and carry you where you don't want to go." v19 He said this to signify by what kind of death he would glorify God.[j] After saying this, He told him, "Follow Me!".
