Later, Jesus appeared once again to a group of his disciples by Lake Galilee. It happened one day while Peter, Thomas (the Twin), Nathanael (from Cana in Galilee), Jacob, John, and two other disciples were all together. Peter told them, “I’m going fishing.” And they all replied, “We’ll go with you.” So they went out and fished through the night, but caught nothing. Then at dawn, Jesus was standing there on the shore, but the disciples didn’t realize that it was him! He called out to them, saying, “Hey guys! Did you catch any fish?” “Not a thing,” they replied. Jesus shouted to them, “Throw your net over the starboard side, and you’ll catch some!” And so they did as he said, and they caught so many fish they couldn’t even pull in the net! Then the disciple whom Jesus loved said to Peter, “It’s the Lord!” When Peter heard him say that, he quickly wrapped his outer garment around him, and because he was athletic, he dove right into the lake to go to Jesus! The other disciples then brought the boat to shore, dragging their catch of fish. They weren’t far from land, only about a hundred meters. And when they got to shore, they noticed a charcoal fire with some roasted fish and bread. Then Jesus said, “Bring some of the fish you just caught.”

No matter how often we pray, how many Bible passages we study and memorize, how frequently we attend church events or serve those in need, there’s always room to grow closer to God.

A 4-Day Journey Through John 21 This devotional plan invites me to walk with Peter through one of the most pivotal moments in his life—a moment where Jesus met him in his failure and frustration, not to condemn him, but to restore and recommission him. As we reflect on these four choke points, we can be reminded that Jesus longs to bring freedom in these same areas of our life too. This devotional plan is inspired by a powerful teaching originally shared by Dave Smith, Senior Leader of KingsGate Community Church, UK

But listen to the wisdom of Tony Evans as he reminds us that in our darkest hour, we have a Savior in our corner equipping us to turn things around.
