The Amazing Catch of Fish/Breakfast on the Beach-John 21:1-14
Over the next few days, Jesus appeared to His disciples and many others and showed them He really was alive again. Peter and a group of disciples were out fishing in their boat. Early the next morning, Jesus came to see them and stood on the shore. He was faraway, so they did not recognize Him.
"Haven't you caught any fish?" He shouted to the fishermen. "No!" said Peter. "Then throw your net on the other side of the boat," said Jesus, "and you will catch plenty!" Then the men did as He said and sure enough, their nets were filled to the bursting point with fresh fish.
"It's Jesus!" said Peter. Peter and the others knew that only God could do something so amazing. They knew Jesus was the Lord. Jesus had made a small fire on the shore to cook some of the fish. He had some bread for them too. His disciples came and sat with Him and ate breakfast on the beach. It was wonderful to be with the Lord Jesus again!
Major points for Children:
Sin pushes us away (or separates us) from God.
Jesus comes and finds us.
He forgives us, and puts us back together with God.
He gives us purpose (or things to do).
Jesus continually reminds us of His power, love and forgiveness even when we have forgotten Him.
