John 21 - Follow Me

South Shore Community Church

John 21 presents a powerful narrative where Jesus appears to His disciples by the Sea of Galilee. Despite their expertise, the disciples catch nothing all night until Jesus instructs them to cast their net on the right side of the boat, resulting in an abundant catch. This story underscores the importance of trusting Jesus in everyday moments and highlights that fulfillment comes from obedience rather than effort. Jesus not only meets the disciples' practical needs by preparing breakfast but also restores Peter, who had previously denied Him, reaffirming his purpose with commands to care for His followers. The chapter concludes with a call to follow Jesus, emphasizing the need to surrender our plans and avoid the comparison trap. The message encourages us to embrace our unique journey with Jesus, trust Him in all areas of life, and focus on our personal calling rather than comparing ourselves to others.
