1. UNSUCCESSFUL FISHING (a) “I’m going fishing” – this seems odd because they knew Jesus was risen! - it was not from despair or a turning away from discipleship and Jesus - rather they were still weak, unsure, unready for the task of gospel mission (b) “they caught nothing” – this was despite their skill and knowledge! - they were being prepared and taught what they needed for gospel mission! - we are taught to rely on the power of Jesus, which comes through prayer - the problem is not having knowledge how to evangelise but relying on it!
2. THE RISEN CHRIST’S INTERVENTION (a) “as day was breaking” – everything changes as they begin to see Jesus! (b) “Jesus...on the shore” – compare Luke 5:1-11 – what’s the big difference? (c) the route to success – it comprises Christ’s instruction, and our obedience! - they gathered a huge catch! - then they knew him! – he taught reliance! - reliance is attached to Christ’s ability! – are we afraid of a full blessing?
