John 21:21 “When Peter saw him, he asked, ‘Lord, what about him?”’ Peter did not realize his first concern should be his own faith. His friend John’s faith and life were certainly important, but Peter displayed a flaw and Jesus needed to correct that flaw. That same flaw is easily present in you and me also. Are we recognizing we are in desperate of a Savior? Let’s not be hasty to judge others. Let’s be hasty to recognize our own needs as we present ourselves before our Heavenly Father.

John 21:6 “He said,’Throw your nets on the right side of the boat and you will find some.”‘ The fishermen listened to Jesus and they experienced more success than ever before. The Bible is loaded with life experiences where God is listened to and where God is not listened to. Every time, without fail, when God and His principles are listened to and followed success comes. Isn’t the truth of God’s will 100% of the time proven to have an end result of success? You and I should always listen to our God and we will experience success always.

John 21:4 “Early in the morning, Jesus stood on the shore, but the disciples did not realize that it was Jesus.” The disciples could see but they did not realize. How often in our lives do we see but not realize? Answer: Often.Even when we wake up in the morning do we realize we had breath as we slept because God blessed us with breath? When we eat and our body is nourished do we realize nourishment is a wonderful gift from God? As we live with peace, comfort and hope do we realize those emotional gifts are cherished gifts from our Heavenly Father? Our lives are abundantly filled with a tremendous amount of love that you and I experience but hardly realize. Thanksgiving is to be a daily celebration for everyone.

John 20:30-31 “Jesus performed many other signs in the presence of his disciples, which are not recorded in this book. But these are written that you may believe that Jesus is the Messiah, the Son of God, and that by believing you may have life in his name.” Jesus wants the world to know He is the Messiah and eternal life comes through Him–and only through Him. More earthly proof could be written, but you and I will have to wait for Heaven—another joy we will experience in eternity!

John 20:29b “…blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed.” You and I have never physically seen God. Yet we believe He is real and all He says is absolute truth. That is the definition of faith. A skeptic will demand proof and will not believe even when there is proof. The resurrection is far beyond any proof any Christian needs. God had men record it–you and I accept God’s Word as truth–we need no other proof. God declares each faith filled Christian as blessed and that is simply what we are–blessed. Thank You, God!
