1. I'm going fishing (1-3)

Jesus' disciples went back to Galilee. Jesus had promised to meet them there, but when they arrived, they didn't see him. They remembered Jesus' love and his tragic death--and their own failures as his disciples. Sorrow and despair filled their hearts. Peter lost direction and decided to give his old life as a fisherman a try. The others followed him. But even though they fished all night, they caught nothing. Life seemed to be one failure after another.

2. Come and have breakfast (4-14)

When Jesus, standing on the shore, called to them, they didn't recognize him. But when he helped them recover their failure and make a great catch of fish, the disciple whom Jesus loved (John) recognized him and told Peter. Peter, who was stripped for work, threw his coat on, jumped into the water and waded ashore. Everything had changed, but Jesus' love had not changed. He was there cooking breakfast for them. Jesus is the same yesterday, today, and forever.

Application: Lord, thank you for your love that restores failure and gives new strength.
One Word: Jesus' love doesn't change
