Daily Bible Reading—April 2024, God’s Guiding Word: HopeSample

April 3
Introduction
John 21:1–14: Seven of the disciples fish all night but catch nothing. When Jesus appears on the shore of Lake Tiberias and tells them to cast their net again, they catch many fish. Jesus then invites the disciples to share with him the meal that he has prepared.
Today’s Key Verse: John 21:13
Jesus went over, took the bread, and gave it to them; he did the same with the fish.
Reflect
Who among the disciples was the first to recognize that it was Jesus on the shore? What did Peter do upon hearing that it was Jesus? What might the disciples have been thinking or feeling while sharing a meal with Jesus? Are there occasions within your community of faith when members and guests gather to share a meal? What recollections do you have of these times together?
Pray
Lord Jesus, you lovingly invite me to dine with you each day as I feast on your Word. With a joyful heart I thank and praise you for the spiritual nourishment you graciously provide each day. Amen.
Tomorrow’s Reading
John 21:15–25: Jesus speaks to Simon Peter.
