113 Gone Fishing

John 21:1-23, TBC Book Two, Chapter 113
The disciples finally slipped out of Jerusalem and made their way back to Galilee. They thought that the Lord would be there when they arrived. But the longer they waited, the more they doubted whether he was coming at all. With the sun setting on yet another day, Peter stood up and made his way to the door. 

“I’m going fishing,” he announced.

“I’ll go with you,” said John.

“Me too,” said James. Then Thomas and Nathaniel also decided to join them.

It was just like old times—they fished all night but caught nothing. By dawn a heaviness hung over them. No, it wasn’t like old times. The joy was gone.

As they pulled toward shore, a man called out, “Friends, have you caught any fish?”

“No,” one of them shouted back, “we haven’t!”

“Try throwing your net on the other side!” the man yelled.

Peter shook his head in disgust. John laughed and said, “It worked before!” . . .
