John 21:1-17
Thy Kingdom come, Thy Will be done on earth as it is in Heaven!
After this Jesus revealed himself again to the disciples by the Sea of Tiberias, and he revealed himself in this way. 2 Simon Peter, Thomas (called the Twin), Nathanael of Cana in Galilee, the sons of Zebedee, and two others of his disciples were together. 3 Simon Peter said to them, “I am going fishing.”
They said to him, “We will go with you.” They went out and got into the boat, but that night they caught nothing.
4 Just as day was breaking, Jesus stood on the shore; yet the disciples did not know that it was Jesus. 5 Jesus said to them, “Children, do you have any fish?”
They answered him, “No.”
6 He said to them, “Cast the net on the right side of the boat, and you will find some.” So they cast it, and now they were not able to haul it in, because of the quantity of fish. 7
That disciple whom Jesus loved therefore said to Peter, “It is the Lord!”
When Simon Peter heard that it was the Lord, he put on his outer garment, for he was stripped for work, and threw himself into the sea. 8 The other disciples came in the boat, dragging the net full of fish, for they were not far from the land, but about a hundred yards off.
9 When they got out on land, they saw a charcoal fire in place, with fish laid out on it, and bread. 10 Jesus said to them, “Bring some of the fish that you have just caught.”
11 So Simon Peter went aboard and hauled the net ashore, full of large fish, 153 of them. And although there were so many, the net was not torn.
12 Jesus said to them, “Come and have breakfast.”
Now none of the disciples dared ask him, “Who are you?”
They knew it was the Lord.
13 Jesus came and took the bread and gave it to them, and so with the fish. 14 This was now the third time that Jesus was revealed to the disciples after he was raised from the dead.
15 When they had finished breakfast, Jesus said to Simon Peter, “Simon, son of John, do you love me more than these?”
He said to him, “Yes, Lord; you know that I love you.”
He said to him, “Feed my lambs.”
16 He said to him a second time, “Simon, son of John, do you love me?”
He said to him, “Yes, Lord; you know that I love you.”
He said to him, “Tend my sheep.”
17 He said to him the third time, “Simon, son of John, do you love me?”
Peter was grieved because he said to him the third time, “Do you love me?” and he said to him, “Lord, you know everything; you know that I love you.”
Jesus said to him, “Feed my sheep.
John 21 is Jesus Living God's Word. Peter is able to recognize the Fulfillment of His Word.
Matthew 5:18
For truly, I say to you, until heaven and earth pass away, not an iota, not a dot, will pass from the Law until all is accomplished.
Luke 5:1-11
On one occasion, while the crowd was pressing in on him to hear the word of God, he was standing by the lake of Gennesaret, 2 and he saw two boats by the lake, but the fishermen had gone out of them and were washing their nets.
3 Getting into one of the boats, which was Simon's, he asked him to put out a little from the land. And he sat down and taught the people from the boat. 4 And when he had finished speaking, he said to Simon, “Put out into the deep and let down your nets for a catch.”
5 And Simon answered, “Master, we toiled all night and took nothing! But at your word I will let down the nets.” 6 And when they had done this, they enclosed a large number of fish, and their nets were breaking.
7 They signaled to their partners in the other boat to come and help them. And they came and filled both the boats, so that they began to sink.
8 But when Simon Peter saw it, he fell down at Jesus' knees, saying, “Depart from me, for I am a sinful man, O Lord.” 9 For he and all who were with him were astonished at the catch of fish that they had taken, 10 and so also were James and John, sons of Zebedee, who were partners with Simon.
And Jesus said to Simon, “Do not be afraid; from now on you will be catching men.”
11 And when they had brought their boats to land, they left everything and followed him.
Yesterday, Today and Tomorrow. God's Word is Living. The Good Physician, Luke's Gospel, Chapter 5 records Jesus called Peter to walk with Jesus determines and creates the conversation inspiring Peter. And in the beginning of Peter's ministry, Jesus sets Peter on His Path again. Jesus rises to Life and Peter is Called to Abundant Life as well. Luke doesn't record what John in John's Gospel saw.
The Exodus is not about the Story of Moses. This is Purely a Work of God. The Calling of Peter and the Fulfillment of Peter is not the Story of Peter. We see two of Christ's followers completing what God sees Clearly.
God buries His workmen but carries on His work!

Abba,
You renew our Lives. Your Mercy arrives Daily. You loadeth us with benefits daily The Psalms tell us.
John 17 is Living Word Jesus prays for us.
When Jesus comes on that day to be glorified in His saints, and to be marveled at among all who have believed, because our testimony to you was believed.
To this end we always ask Jesus pray for us, that our God may make us worthy of His calling and may fulfill every resolve for good and every work of faith by His Power, that the name of our Lord Jesus may be glorified in us, and you in Jesus, according to the grace of our God and the Lord Jesus Christ.
In the days of the trumpet call, the mystery of God would be fulfilled, just as He announced to his servants the prophets.
And the Scripture was fulfilled that says, “Abraham believed God, and it was counted to him as righteousness”—and he was called a friend of God." And like Lazarus and his tomb, we want to be called by Jesus as Friend of God.
Abba, Your Word says we pray to see Your Glorious Works be made clear to the next generation and have our children see the Wonders of Your Love and Work. To You belongs, Your Kingdom, Your Power and Your Glory.
Covering our prayer requests to seek and find You and Your Kingdom first, to live in Love, Peace and Joy.
Asking You to Bless our prayer requests and for the continued healing of Elliott, his family and Dee and Jim. And others who have shared their prayers.
And to build our lives in Your Blessings, to Your Glory.
We pray for the world today, Jesus enfold and encourage and protect Your Good Creation and Your Children You call Beloved.
Jesus is Lord, Amen!
