1. I am going out to fish (1-3)

Jesus had appeared to Mary, 10 disciples and Thomas. They were so joyful. Jesus sent them as the Father has sent him. As Jesus said, they came to Galilee. Yet Peter and the other disciples didn't know what to do. Peter said, "I am going out to fish." He wanted to try his old life. The other disciples followed him. But that night they caught nothing. Peter and the disciples represent some of us who know everything about Jesus' shepherd life, death on the cross and the resurrection yet are hopeless, helpless, powerless and directionless.

2. Breakfast on the beach (4-14)

But the risen Jesus was there. He came to help them recover their failure and catch a large number of fish. Jesus made a charcoal fire to warm them and cooked broiled fish to fill their stomach. He invited them, "Come and have breakfast." Everything had changed, but his love did not. Jesus is the same yesterday, today and forever. He is Immanuel, God with us.
