John 21:1-14
Peter and disciples went home and were doing their original jobs, to be a fisher.
But there could not get any fish all night, next day morning, Jesus stood on the shore told them "Throw your net on the right side of the boat and you will fine some." They did, they were unable to haul the net in because of the large number of fish."
As soon as Peter heard John said "It is the Lord," he wrapped his outer garment around him and jumped in the water.
When they landed, they saw a fire of burning coals with fish on it, and some bread. Jesus said to them,"Bring some of the fish you have just caught." There were 153 large fishes. Jesus said to them, "Come and have breakfast." This is the third time Jesus appeared to his disciples (Seven of them) after he was raised from the dead.
Why?
The boat were not far from shore, about a hundred yards, so disciples could not identify it is Jesus at the first glance.
Disciples seems lost their hope so they went back to do their former jobs.
Jesus appeared to his disciples this time is for Peter and other disciples, to serve them and recover their heart.
Peter were three time not acknowledged Jesus so he felt embarrass to the Lord. So he jump into the water.
John remembered how many of the fishes were and how Jesus appeared to them.
How?
When we confess our faults or sins, Jesus will forgive us and rescue us. Jesus so loved Peter, and He is loving us also.
