The Boys at the Beach

After these things Jesus showed Himself again to the disciples at the Sea of Tiberias, and in this way He showed Himself: Simon Peter, Thomas called the Twin, Nathanael of Cana in Galilee, the sons of Zebedee, and two others of His disciples were together. Simon Peter said to them, “I am going fishing.” They said to him, “We are going with you also.” They went out and immediately got into the boat, and that night they caught nothing.  But when the morning had now come, Jesus stood on the shore; yet the disciples did not know that it was Jesus. Then Jesus said to them, “Children, have you any food?” They answered Him, “No.” And He said to them, “Cast the net on the right side of the boat, and you will find some.” So they cast, and now they were not able to draw it in because of the multitude of fish.(John 21:1-6)

Once one truly knows and experiences Christ, There is no going back. It is just not the same. The disciples couldn't even catch fish anymore!

This was not an ordinary boys time out. . . . The Boys at the Beach . . . No! This was a reminder who they were and Whose they were! Jesus let them know He did not forget them. He feeds them, restores them, and lets them know things will be tough....but He will not leave them alone.

He does the same for each of us. So . . . Will we "follow Him"? (John 21:19-22)
