The Net Are You In It?

The Net has been cast unto The Earth question is are you in it?
Music by Send Rain

Matt 4:18-20 And Jesus, walking by the sea of Galilee, saw two brethren, Simon called Peter, and Andrew his brother, casting a net into the sea: for they were fishers. 19 And he saith unto them, Follow me, and I will make you fishers of men. 20 And they straightway left their nets, and followed him.

Here Jesus calls His first disciples, and he changes then from “Fisherman” to “Fishers of Men”

Simon Peter saith unto them, I go a fishing. They say unto him, We also go with thee. They went forth, and entered into a ship immediately; and that night they caught nothing. 4 But when the morning was now come, Jesus stood on the shore: but the disciples knew not that it was Jesus. 5 Then Jesus saith unto them, Children, have ye any meat? They answered him, No. 6 And he said unto them, Cast the net on the right side of the ship, and ye shall find. They cast therefore, and now they were not able to draw it for the multitude of fishes.

I have heard more sermons than I can count that Peter left following Christ completely and returned to being a fisherman.

However I personally don’t believe that for a minute. They had a very rough week, Judas and the garden, the crucifixion, the denial, The Resurrection,

I honest believe Peter just wanted to get out on the water where no one could get to them and just reflect, relax, and be at peace.

John 21:6-11 Then Jesus saith unto them, Children, have ye any meat? They answered him, No. 6 And he said unto them, Cast the net on the right side of the ship, and ye shall find. They cast therefore, and now they were not able to draw it for the multitude of fishes. 7 Therefore that disciple whom Jesus loved saith unto Peter, It is the Lord. Now when Simon Peter heard that it was the Lord, he girt his fisher's coat unto him, (for he was naked,) and did cast himself into the sea. 8 And the other disciples came in a little ship; for they were not far from land, but as it were two hundred cubits, dragging the net with fishes. As soon then as they were come to land, they saw a fire of coals there, and fish laid thereon, and bread. 10 Jesus saith unto them, Bring of the fish which ye have now caught.11 Simon Peter went up, and drew the net to land full of great fishes, an hundred and fifty and three: and for all there were so many, yet was not the net broken.

One thing fisherman had to do was they were constantly mending their nets., Salt water, the sun, dragging them across the bottom and catching them on the rocks?

Here Jesus does two things
He provides for their families, this was probably several weeks to a month of a catch?
The net did not break, they were amazed it didn’t or John wouldn’t have brought it up. You can be sure of one thing if God is with You the net will never break.
