"Helping The World DISCOVER THE WAY of LOVE!"

At Mensa Christi, the beautiful spot on the Sea of Galilee where Jesus met the Disciples after His resurrection and made them an early morning breakfast, there is a plaque from Luke 5: 5, "At Thy word I will let down the net" which summarizes the early faith and obedience of Simon Peter. However, in the Gospel account of John, chapter 21, World War Water Review at the end of Christ's ministry, it is here that we find a very discouraged group of Disciples, including Peter, who have returned to Galilee and the poignant, bittersweet comfort of memories of earlier times with Jesus. While fishing on this particular night, according to John's account, they had not caught anything, which in itself is amazing, because the fish jump right out of the water, with splash after splash, from dusk to dawn. An experience that amazes everyone as they stand on the shores of the Sea of Galilee when visiting the Holy Land.

After Jesus called to the Disciples and told them to cast their net on the right side of the boat, they pulled up an unbelievable catch! Peter, always impetuous, jumped into the water and swam the hundred years in record time... he should have been in the Olympics! The others came to shore a little more sedately, dragging the loaded net after them because it was too heavy to lift into the boat. John's account tells us that after breakfast, Jesus and Peter took a walk along the shore of the lake with John following behind. It is during this walk, when Jesus asks Peter three times if he loves Him.

Scholars have debated for centuries about why Jesus asked the question three times. Was it because Peter denied Him three times? Is it because there are three kinds of love? The same scholars have debated over the exact number of fish noted in the account, 153?? Various theories have been discussed, from the number of species of fish found in the lake to the number of languages spoken across the world. In the end,http://nomorefakereviews.ning.com/articles/world-war-water-guide-re... they may all be right, only God knows! But let's not stumble or get stuck on these details, what we should find encouraging is that Peter, human and with faults just like ours, is reconciled to his Savior.
