JESUS
APPEARS TO SEVEN DISCIPLES
After
this, Jesus appeared once more to his disciples at Lake Tiberias. This is how
it happened. Simon Peter, Thomas (called the Twin), Nathanael (the one from
Cana in Galilee), the sons of Zebedee, and two other disciples of Jesus were
all together. Simon Peter said to the
others, “I am going fishing.”
“We
will come with you,” they told him. So they went out in a boat, but all that night they did not catch a
thing. As the sun was rising, Jesus
stood at the water’s edge, but the disciples did not know that it was
Jesus. Then he asked them, “Young men,
haven’t you caught anything?”
“Not a thing,” they answered.
He said to them, “Throw your net out on the
right side of the boat, and you will catch some.” So they threw the net out and could not pull
it back in, because they had caught so
many fish.
The
disciple whom Jesus loved said to Peter, “It is the Lord!” When
Peter heard that it was the Lord, he wrapped his outer garment round him
(for he had taken his clothes off) and jumped into the water. The other disciples came to shore in the boat
pulling the net full of fish. They were
not very far from land, about a hundred metres away. When they stepped ashore, they saw a charcoal
fire there with fish on it and some bread.
Then Jesus said to them, “Bring some of the fish you have just caught.”
Simon Peter went aboard and dragged the net
ashore full of big fish, a hundred and fifty-three in all; even though there
were so many, still the net did not tear.
Jesus said to them, “Come and eat.”
None of the disciples dared ask him, “Who are you?” because they knew it
was the Lord. So Jesus went over, took
the bread, and gave it to them; he did the same with the fish.
This, then, was the third time Jesus appeared
to the disciples after he was raised from death.
(John 21:1-14)
This is the Word of the Lord

I would hereby like to testify. For the past few months, there was a financial difficulties and we were almost physically and mentally drained. When I lifted up my heart in sorrow to the KLWC family, they prayed with tears. The Lord,our sole provider,in answer to their prayers,removed the bondages and a long overdue amount was credited in our bank. Thank you Jesus!We praise you Lord.
ReplyDeleteMy boyfriend refuses marriage and I have no one to call as family. I have attended few Christian gatherings and yet to know the real Lord Jesus. Keep my request to the Lord for a family, children home. I would be obliged. Thanks.
